  "textContent": "Eleven people were injured early Wednesday when a Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority work vehicle on Metro’s Silver Line collided with a stationary train at Metro Center, transit officials said.\n\nThe crash happened shortly after midnight and caused major disruptions to the morning commute.\n\nMetro said Silver Line trains are operating only between Ashburn and Clarendon while crews respond to the incident. Riders traveling toward New Carrollton or Downtown Largo are being advised to transfer to the Orange Line.\n\nOfficials also alerted riders of significant delays in both directions as trains single‑track between McPherson Square and Smithsonian.\n\nMetro Center reopened around 5:15 a.m., but delays continued through the morning.\n\nThe cause of the collision remains under investigation.",
