BREAKING: Person Struck By Train at Va. Square
by ARLnow.com July 13, 2017 at 9:50 pm
(Updated at 10:20 p.m.) A person was struck by a train at the Virginia Square Metro station Thursday night.
The incident happened around 9:30 p.m. Initial reports suggest the person who was struck is still on the tracks and has died.
Police and firefighters are on the scene. Metro Transit Police say an adult male was on the tracks “intentionally” and was struck and killed. One witness said the deceased individual “jumped in front of… a Silver Line train headed into the city.”
Metro’s Orange and Silver lines are suspended between East Falls Church and Clarendon. Shuttles are being dispatched to the stations. Metro riders should expect delays on both lines.
