BART Train Strikes Person At Bay Fair Station In San Leandro
SAN LEANDRO (CBS SF) -- A person struck by a BART train at the Bay Fair BART station in San Leandro Tuesday night has been transported to a hospital, a BART spokesman said.
A report of a person under a train came in around 8:05 p.m. at the station at 15242 Hesperian Blvd., BART spokesman Jim Allison said.
A southbound Fremont-bound train struck the person and passengers on the involved train were evacuated, BART police Lt. Tyrone Forte said.
The person "bounced back on the platform" and was transported to Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, Allison said.
The person "seemed to be in better condition that you would expect," Allison said.
The station was closed due to the medical emergency and trains were delayed on the Dublin/Pleasanton to Daly City, Fremont to Daly City and Fremont to Richmond lines, he said.
BART police and emergency responders were at the scene, according to Allison.
No further details were immediately available.
