WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries after she was rescued from underneath a Metro Red Line train on Saturday, according to D.C. fire officials.
Details remain limited; however, in a post on X just after 9 p.m., the DC Fire and EMS Department (DCFD) said a person was alive underneath a train at the Gallery Place Station in Northwest.
Firefighters rescued the woman from beneath the train and took her to the hospital with critical injuries.
Metrorail called the woman a “trespasser” and said she was struck by the train. After the incident, no trains were running between Farragut North and Judiciary Square. A shuttle bus service was requested for the area.
In a later update, Metrorail said trains between Judiciary Square and Farragut North were single-tracking, and riders can expect delays in both directions.
