Overview
- A woman was struck by an outbound Metra train at the Schaumburg station Tuesday afternoon and was transported to Alexian Brothers Hospital.
- Metra and local authorities said the woman survived but did not immediately release her medical condition.
- Police stopped or restricted train movements at the scene to conduct an on-site investigation, and emergency crews were visible in aerial footage.
- Metra reopened one of the station’s two tracks during the response and reported that trains returned to service at about 4:30 p.m.
- Coverage differs on whether the train was on the Milwaukee District West or Milwaukee District North line and officials have not yet resolved that discrepancy.
