Two BART Medical Emergencies Cause Major Delays

BART experienced two major disruptions in the same week due to separate medical emergencies. On Thursday morning, service between South Hayward and Bay Fair stations was halted after an emergency at Hayward station, with AC Transit providing bus assistance and no timeline for resumption. Earlier in the week, a person reportedly entered the trackway and was struck by a train at North Berkeley BART station, leading to an hour-long closure and significant delays on the Red Line. In both cases, emergency personnel responded and the condition of those involved has not been disclosed. Commuters were advised to use alternative routes as BART and AC Transit coordinated to manage the service interruptions. Investigations into both incidents are ongoing.
