BART is running a tad late systemwide after someone got struck by a train at Civic Center station 'round noon, reports the Merc.
Oy.
If need be, click here for updates on BART service advisories. And we hope the struckee survived. Be careful out there, folks.

How exactly does one get hit by a BART train *leaving* the station?
Anyone have a stick figure diagram on that?
Sadly, the person is dead, according to SFGate.
Sfgate says today he jumped in front. Nevertheless, I would guess that any contact with a fast-moving train is going to be painful. Specifically, those grab rails on the outside next to the doors could be lethal. The drivers are justified when they yell at people standing on the yellow tiles.
