Police late Friday are investigating a death after a motorcyclist involved in a collision was ejected onto BART tracks in Oakland and hit by a train.
A BART spokesperson said the motorcyclist involved in the accident hit the BART right-of-way barrier and was ejected onto the tracks. This was near 23rd Street and Northgate Avenue, where the Oakland underground tunnel ascends to aerial track.
The incident caused major delays for hours for BART after service stopped in downtown Oakland in the following directions: Antioch, Berryessa, Richmond and San Francisco/Daly City/SFO.
BART service was fully restored just after 10 p.m.
