Bay Fair BART Station Temporarily Closed After Person Struck by Train

The Bay Fair BART station in San Leandro was temporarily closed Tuesday night after a person was struck by a train, 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. The station reopened just before 9:30 p.m.

The person was transported to Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley. Officials were unable to provide an update on the person's condition.

A southbound Fremont-bound train struck a person and passengers on the involved train have been evacuated, BART police Lt. Tyrone Forte said.

The station closure caused a major delay to trains on the Dublin/Pleasanton to Daly City, Fremont to Daly City and Fremont to Richmond lines, Allison said.

BART police and emergency responders also responded to the scene, according to Allison.
