A pedestrian was killed Monday morning in a crash involving a Regional Transportation District A Line train, forcing the transit system to use shuttle buses while the fatal accident is under investigation.
The pedestrian was hit around 9:55 a.m. near a crossing gate at Smith Road and Dahlia Street, said Pauline Haberman, an RTD spokesman.
Twenty-four passengers were on the train, which was en route to Denver International Airport, but no one was injured, Haberman said.
Police closed roads near that intersection and the railroad.
RTD shuttles will take A Line passengers between Union Station and Central Park Station until Monday afternoon. The A Line continues to run between Central Park Station and the airport, Haberman said.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
