{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A man died after falling under a Boston subway train early Tuesday, authorities said.
The man apparently wanted to board a moving Green Line trolley at North Station at 12:18 a.m., Transit Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan said in a statement.
As the northbound trolley was departing on its way to the Medford/Tufts station the man kicked its side, the statement said, and he "lost his balance and fell under the trolley as it was in motion."
