SUMNER, Wash. (AP) — Two people were hit by Sound Transit trains — one fatally near Sumner in Pierce County and another near Carkeek Park in Seattle —causing hours-long delays for passengers.
The first pedestrian was struck this morning south of Sumner Station around 5:30. Because it was a fatality, the trains were shut down until the medical examiner could investigate.
Another pedestrian was struck by a second train, this one coming from Everett, near Carkeek Park in the Ballard area around 8 a.m. The person involved was not fatally injured and the train was reported to be moving again before 9 a.m.
An investigation continues.
