Accident on the metro rail system

WBFO File Photo

The NFTA said an African-American male in his mid 30's appeared to be hit by a train.

He was 200 feet into the tunnel on Main near Tupper. Footage is currently being looked at to see exactly what happened.  The male is in serious condition and was transported to ECMC.

The metro rail system is running again after temporarily closing between 2 pm to 3 pm Saturday.

Updates will come when new information is disclosed (UPDATED 3:25PM).
