Metro is reporting that a man was hit by a Red line train this morning at the Shady Grove station.

The train, headed in the direction of Glenmont, struck the man at around 9:50 a.m. The man was reportedly still alive when rescue crews pulled him from underneath the train and transported him to a local hospital.

Expect Red line delays for the next several hours as officials investigate the accident.
The Shady Grove, Rockville and Twinbrook Metro stations are all offering only limited service. A train acting as a shuttle is going back and forth on one track between the stations. Buses also are transporting passengers to the three most affected stations.
