Woman Struck And Killed By Pink Line Train

CHICAGO (STMW) -- A woman was killed after she jumped in front of a Pink Line train near Kedzie Sunday night on the Southwest Side.

The woman, thought to be in her 30s, jumped in front of the train about 8:40 p.m., according to Chicago Police.

First responders extricated her from under the train just after 9 p.m., according to Chicago Fire Department Cmdr. Curtis Hudson.

She was taken to Mount Sinai hospital, where she later died, Hudson said. The Cook County medical examiner's office could not immediately confirm the death.

Pink Line service had resumed with residual delays by 11:20 p.m. after it was suspended for more than two hours, according to the CTA.
