WASHINGTON — Metro says a man who was struck and killed by a train at a station in Maryland just outside Washington was on the tracks intentionally.
The transit agency says the man was struck by an eight-car train shortly after 4 p.m. Monday at the Forest Glen station on the red line. Metro did not have any additional information about the man.
Metro says trains are sharing a single track in the area and that passengers should expect delays throughout rush hour.
The death happened just a few miles up the track from the site of last week’s train crash that killed nine. Trains in the area already are running slower than usual as investigators work to determine the cause of that crash.
