Second Train Strike At Station This Summer

Tuesday's incident comes less than two months after another person was struck by an outbound train at the same station.

Patch reported June 25 that a man with a bicycle was struck by a Metra train at the Schaumburg station.

That collision happened at about 7:20 a.m. The man was taken to a hospital, while the crash halted service along the line. Metra said at the time that trains continued operating east of Schaumburg while crews worked at the scene.

The Daily Herald later reported that the man was undergoing surgery at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital and that both tracks had reopened by about 9:30 a.m.

There was no immediate indication that the two incidents were related.

Patch will update this story as additional information becomes available.
