Boston College hockey players charged after crash

BOSTON — Three members of Boston College’s national championship hockey team are among seven college-age people facing alcohol charges after a trolley hit their SUV.

A spokesman for the Boston transit agency says athletes Philip Samuelsson, Patrick Wey and Parker Milner are among those who will be summoned to court on charges of being minors in possession of alcohol after Sunday morning’s accident.

The agency says that no one in the SUV was over 19 and that the driver was not a member of the team.

The Jeep Cherokee was making a U-turn across the tracks when the train struck it. Some people in the Jeep suffered minor injuries.

A Boston College spokesman says the school is cooperating with authorities and students could also face campus sanctions.
