E branch service was temporarily suspended between Brigham Circle and Heath Street, though Route 39 buses accommodated riders, Pesaturo said. Regularly scheduled service resumed around 4:30 p.m.
The trolley involved in the crash was taken out of service, he said.
Sunday’s incident came just days after a collision between a car and a trolley on the Green Line’s B Branch temporarily brought service to a halt near the Boston University Bridge.
