The transportation agency stated that there was a person on the rails between Pleasant Hill and Lafayette, causing service to be suspended. BART service is now back online. According to BART, the Walnut Creek BART Station has reopened after being temporarily shuttered. A collision may have happened because, according to BART spokesman Jim Allison, someone was on the rails when a train approached the station for an unidentified reason.
According to Allison, the individual was extracted from the rails by emergency personnel. It was not immediately possible to obtain an update on the individual’s condition. At 10:48 a.m., there was a report of a potential accident between the person and a BART train. BART officials stated that they have not yet discovered why the individual was on the tracks.
Earlier, it was suggested that people look for other ways to get between the Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, and Lafayette stations. Now that regular rail service has restored, the bus bridge that was planned to connect the affected stations has been canceled. As of the time of publication, the victim’s identity remained undisclosed.
