So, like, this dude in his thirties got seriously messed up after getting hit by a Metro A Line (Blue) train in South-Central Los Angeles. Apparently, it went down at 5:41 p.m. on Washington Boulevard near Griffith Avenue. The Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson, Margaret Stewart, spilled the tea on this unfortunate incident. The train tracks in that area are no joke, crossing a super busy intersection with a bunch of lanes for cars.
The poor guy was rushed to the hospital, according to Stewart. It’s a mystery why he was even on the tracks in the first place. No one on the train got hurt, though, so that’s a relief. Not really sure why this matters, but the post got updated to remove some info about potential delays. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like that’s not the most crucial detail to focus on.
