SEATTLE -- One week after it was officially placed into service, the new South Lake Union Streetcar on Wednesday had its first accident involving another vehicle.
The streetcar collided with an SUV about 7:45 a.m. near the intersection of Mercer Street and Terry Avenue.
Seattle Police Captain Steve Brown said the driver of the SUV ran a red light while the streetcar was crossing the intersection.
No one was injured in the collision and the streetcar was moved from the intersection shortly after 8 a.m.
"It did some superficial damage on the front," Brown said. "It's a high-tonnage vehicle, so likely not much damage at all."
Brown said the streetcar will be back in service as soon as it's inspected by Metro officials.
