NATICK, Mass. — Two people were struck and killed by an MBTA Commuter Rail train Monday afternoon in Natick, according to Transit Police Supt. Richard Sullivan.
Transit police confirmed the victims were pronounced dead on the scene as a result of their injuries. There was no immediate word on the ages of the victims, and officials have not confirmed why the individuals were on the train tracks.
The incident caused all Commuter Rail services to be halted on the line including multiple inbound trains from Worcester and Framingham to be canceled earlier in the evening.
⚠️ Framingham/Worcester Line trains are operating on one track between Wellesley Farms and West Natick. Passengers will continue to experience delays in both directions due to police activity on the right of way in the Natick area.
