SAN FRANCISCO -- A fatal collision involving a BART train and someone who entered the trackway near the North Berkeley station affected transit service in the East Bay for hours Friday morning.
The collision occurred around 6:30 a.m. and prompted the closure of train service between the Richmond and Downtown Berkeley stations, BART spokesperson Michelle Robertson said. Alameda-Contra Costa Transit buses were taking people between the affected stations.
BART resumed service between those stations by about 7:40 a.m. but had suspended its Red line service between Richmond and Millbrae, requiring passengers to transfer from other lines to get to trains to and from San Francisco.
By about 9:15 a.m., regular service had resumed on all lines, though with residual delays in all directions, Robertson said.
More details about the collision, including the identity of the person who died, were not immediately available.
