Metra train kills pedestrian in Naperville

An inbound Metra train struck and killed a pedestrian Friday afternoon in Naperville.

The accident, which caused several delays and cancellations for the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe line, took place about a quarter-mile east of the Naperville station at 4:15 p.m., said Metra spokesman Michael Gillis.

The train involved in the accident remained on scene; however, passengers were transferred to another train, Gillis said.

No other people were injured, Gillis said.
