In a horrifying turn of events, a 31-year-old woman was struck by a train on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Brown Line on Friday afternoon, leaving her in critical condition and causing temporary disruptions to transit services.
The incident occurred at around 3:40 p.m. in the 1500 block of North Hudson, near the Sedgwick station on the Near North Side of the city.
The woman was transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital for treatment, suffering life-threatening injuries, as reported by Fox32 Chicago.
Transit services on the Brown Line were halted between Armitage and Clark/Lake, while the Purple Line Express was also suspended at Sedgwick, inevitably leading to significant delays for commuters during the evening rush hour.
According to NBC Chicago, services resumed normal operations by 7:55 p.m.
