Red, Purple Line service resumes after man struck, killed by train

CHICAGO (WGN) — Service on the Chicago Transit Authority’s Red and Purple lines was interrupted Tuesday morning after a man was struck and killed by an ‘L’ train on the city’s North Side.

Police said the incident unfolded along the tracks in the 1100 block of West Granville Avenue in Edgewater, near the CTA’s Granville station. Officers said an adult male was struck by a Red Line train in the area at around 9 a.m. and was later pronounced dead on the scene.

Authorities did not say what led up to the incident or identify the individual killed. A death investigation was launched.

The incident caused some service disruptions on the Red Line, Purple Line and Purple Line Express trains, with trains halted between Howard and Wilson due to the medical emergency. Trains were operating only between the Wilson and 95th Street stations, but full service has since resumed.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact CPD Area Three Detectives at 312-744-8263 or dial 911. Tips may also be filed anonymously online at CPDtip.com.
