Thanks to all who messaged us the sad news. From DC Fire and EMS:
“Update technical rescue Farragut West Metro Station. #DCsBravest have unified command with @wmata & @MetroTransitPD. We are working to determine if this is a rescue or recovery operation of individual struck by train.”
Update: “Update technical rescue Farragut West Metro station. #DCsBravest working beneath the train have confirmed this is a recovery rather than a rescue. Scene will be turned over to @MetroTransitPD and @wmata.”
Unfortunately, the person struck by a train this afternoon at Farragut West succumbed to injuries. Video shows it was an intentional act. Please, if you or someone you love needs help or just someone to listen, make the call: 1-855-320-5433 #wmata @_DCHealth #SuicideAwareness pic.twitter.com/FA9Pcipg9Y
