Woman struck, killed by SEPTA train in Bucks
A woman was struck and killed by a SEPTA Regional Rail train Thursday night near the Levittown station in Tullytown.
A woman was struck and killed by a SEPTA Regional Rail train Thursday night near the Levittown station in Tullytown.
The train, which was not in service, was making its way from Trenton to the Powelton train yard in West Philadelphia when it struck the woman around 7:30 p.m., a SEPTA spokesman said.
The train's speed at the time was unclear; it would not have stopped at the station. Also unclear was whether the woman was on the tracks intentionally.
Service on the Trenton Line was suspended. Passengers on a Trenton-bound train at the Bristol station were taken the rest of the way by bus, while other trains were canceled.
Friday morning service should be unaffected, SEPTA said.
