The Chicago Transit Authority said the Red Line is running again between the Garfield and 95th Street stations Monday afternoon after a person died on the tracks.
Officials said service was temporarily suspended around 2:42 p.m. because of a medical emergency on the tracks near 69th Street. Trains appeared to be running again by about 4:20 p.m.
Chicago police said a male of unknown age jumped from a moving Red Line train and landed and was shocked by the third rail. He was then hit by another oncoming train. Fire officials say the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
A death investigation is underway.
