McLean Man Struck by Train Last Week Dies

The 39-year-old McLean man who was at the Clarendon Metro station last week died this morning.

Originally listed in serious condition, the man suffered head injuries and multiple broken bones.

Metro officials believe the incident was intentional.

"He walked a short distance into the tunnel and then placed himself into the path of the train," Metro spokesman Dan Stessel stated in an email.

Stessel has said Metro does not identify individuals in cases they believe to be intentional.

The incident happened during rush hour, clogging the Orange Line for hours. Passengers were eventually directed toward a series of shuttle buses to try to get home.
