Walnut Creek BART station reopened after closure due to 'major medical emergency,' officials say

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- BART's Walnut Creek station has reopened and train service has been fully restored in both directions after a "major medical emergency" earlier Saturday involving a person under a train adjacent to the station platform, the transit agency said.

The emergency was first reported about 2:40 p.m., and all trains on the Antioch line were initially stopped. Trains starting single-tracking through the Walnut Creek station shortly before 4 p.m., a BART spokesman said, and both tracks were reopened shortly after 5 p.m..

BART officials have not explicitly said the person under the train had actually been hit by the train, nor have they released the victim's ID.
