On Tuesday morning, a severe incident at BART's Civic Center Station involved an unauthorized individual who was fatally struck by a train after falling onto the tracks. This event led to the temporary closure of the station and significant delays across the system. Rescue teams responded quickly, but the individual was declared deceased on the scene. BART operations were impacted, with trains running on a single track and some services suspended for a brief period before being restored later in the morning. Systemwide delays persisted due to the incident's aftermath.
