A woman suffered what appeared to be minor injuries when her motorized wheelchair rolled into the Metro tracks at Eastern Market. The woman accidentally fell onto the inbound tracks around 4:25 p.m. Friday, according to Metro spokesman Philip Stewart. The fall was not intentional and no trains were coming at the time, he said. The woman had a possible injury to her arm but was expected to recover. Authorities helped her from the tracks. The woman was at least the third person in a wheelchair to fall into the system's tracks in less than two years. Kytja Weir
