SEPTA has suspended parts of the Broad Street Line after a person was fatally struck by a train this morning. 

Service is not running between the Walnut-Locust and AT&T stations.

SEPTA officials told new outlets that the person was struck at the Tasker-Morris station in South Philadelphia around 7:15 a.m.

Emergency shuttle buses are currently running along the Broad Street Line route – which may cause delays along other bus routes.

Yesterday, two trains on the Market-Frankford Line collided near the 69th Street Station. The cars were not in service – but four people were injured at the scene.
