San Francisco Muni Van Ness Station Closed After Person Hit By Train

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) - A San Francisco Municipal Railway Muni Metro train struck a woman at the Van Ness Station Wednesday morning.

The incident was reported at 11:13 a.m. at the underground station near Van Ness Avenue and Market Street.

Muni spokesman Paul Rose said the female was alive and breathing when she was pulled from underneath the train and taken to a hospital.

The Van Ness station was closed for subway service as of noontime because of the incident, Rose said. Bus shuttles are taking customers between the Church and Embarcadero stations and all inbound trains are switching back at the Castro station, he said.

There was no immediate estimate for when the station will open and subway service will resume, he said.
