A man was killed this morning in Bucks County after a train hit him on tracks between the Bristol and Croydon stations.

The 35-year-old man, whose name wasn't released, was hit at 9:15 a.m. on the Trenton Regional Rail Line, said SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch. The two-car train, which was inbound from Trenton into Center City, had 96 passengers aboard when it hit the pedestrian, Busch said. No one on the train was injured, but the incident prompted 30-minute delays for more than two hours, he added.

Investigators haven't determined if the incident was accidental or intentional but do not suspect foul play, Busch said.
