BART service resumes after 'major medical emergency' delay

OAKLAND, Calif. - BART service between the Lake Merritt and Coliseum stations has been restored after it was temporarily stopped following a "major medical emergency," the transit agency said Saturday. 

The first alert was reported around 8:20 p.m.

Bus service via AC Transit on buses 45 and 62 were made available during the delay. BART police added service had been stopped because a person entered the trackway and "made contact with the train."

BART police said the person was removed from the trackway alive and that normal service is resuming.
