CHICAGO (CBS) — A person was struck and killed by a CTA Red Line train Saturday afternoon near Guaranteed Rate Field.
Crews were called about 1:30 p.m. to the 35th Street Red Line station for reports of a person struck by a train, according to Chicago Fire Department Cmdr. Walter Schroeder. The person was described as an adult, but details about their age and gender were not immediately available.
Red Line service was suspended between Roosevelt and 47th because of “a medical emergency on the tracks” at 35th, according to a service alert from the CTA. Shuttle buses are providing connecting service through the affected area, and the CTA also recommended the Green Line for alternate service.
