The MBTA Transit Police said it appears the vehicle went around the gates that were down and blocking the railroad crossing.

The Middleboro/Lakeville commuter rail was heavily delayed as a result.

Update: Middleborough Train 1004 (8:22 am inbound) has not yet departed Middleborough and is expected to operate 55-65 minutes behind schedule due to a vehicle in the right of way.
