A man has succumbed to injuries after being struck by a SEPTA train between Delaware County and the Southwest Philadelphia area on Thursday.
A SEPTA spokesperson told sources that the incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. when an outbound train on the Media/Wawa regional rail line struck a man between the Fernwood-Yeadon station in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, and the Angora Station in Southwest Philadelphia.
The spokesperson later revealed that the unidentified man died from his injuries.
Service on SEPTA’s Media/Wawa line was suspended due to the incident but was later restored Thursday night.

- Newark
- West Trenton
