A Sound Transit train struck a pedestrian on the 1 Line tracks in Rainier Valley early Sunday, causing serious injuries.
In the 1 Line’s history, 30 pedestrians have been struck while crossing or walking in the rails between 2009 and mid-2022, among 168 total crashes with people, vehicles or objects. A multi-government team has been considering safety changes to surface crossings.
Earlier on Saturday evening, a young male was found unresponsive inside a train that arrived at Northgate Station.
