Fatality Prompted 2-Hour Saturday Closure Of Berkeley BART Station
BERKELEY (CBS SF) -- One person died Saturday morning at the downtown Berkeley BART Station, prompting BART officials to close the station for about two hours as they investigated the incident.
At 10:29 a.m., BART officials first reported the closure, saying it was due to a medical emergency.
According to witnesses, a person jumped from a platform at the station, according to BART spokesman Jim Allison.
Police are investigating the incident as a suicide, Allison said.
The closure caused a major delay on the Richmond Line in the Fremont, Richmond and Daly City directions.
