A possible collision involving a BART train and a person on the tracks at the Walnut Creek station shut down service in the area for more than an hour Tuesday, according to a spokesperson for the transit agency.
The possible collision was reported at 10:48 a.m. after the person entered the tracks apparently of their own volition, BART spokesman Jim Allison said.
Emergency responders removed the person from the trackway and an update on their condition was not immediately available, Allison said.
BART service was shut down between the Lafayette and Pleasant Hill stations during the emergency response and bus shuttles helped take riders between the affected stations.
The Walnut Creek station reopened as of 12:17 p.m. and regular service resumed, according to Allison.
