Overview
- A 37-year-old man riding a bicycle was struck at the Schaumburg Metra Station Thursday morning and was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries.
- Metra said outbound service was stopped near Schaumburg after the collision and ABC7 identified the train involved as #2203, while inbound trains later resumed but ran with significant delays.
- Local and transit police are investigating the incident and officials have not publicly released the bicyclist’s current medical condition.
- The collision forced multiple trains to stop during the morning commute, left many riders delayed or redirected, and prompted Metra to bring in extra trains to assist stranded passengers.
- The Milwaukee West Line serves many suburban commuters and incidents like this typically cause extended systemwide disruption, so riders were advised to check Metra service alerts for updates.
