Woman in wheelchair falls onto commuter-rail tracks at North Station

The Boston Fire Department reports that shortly before 9 p.m., a woman in a motorized wheelchair tumbled off a commuter-rail platform at North Station:

With no train on track 3 at the time, the victim fell about 7' on to the tracks.

Firefighters found her with multiple cuts and placed her on boards to be handed off to EMTs for transport to a nearby hospital. No immediate word on what caused her fall. The department adds it took several firefighters to lift her 600-lb. wheelchair back onto the platform.

Motorized wheelchairs usually weigh less than 200 lbs, so this must have been the ATV of wheelchairs. At first I thought she must have been in it, but it says she was removed separately.
