A pedestrian was struck by a SEPTA train Friday night in Montgomery County.

A SEPTA spokeswoman said the agency received a report of someone being hit by a regional rail train around 9 p.m. near Ford Street in Norristown. The pedestrian was airlifted to a hospital for treatment.

Service on the Manayunk-Norristown line was suspended in both directions as police investigated. SEPTA was operating shuttle buses between Conshohocken Station and the Norristown Transportation Center.
