A 16-year-old boy was fatally struck by an outbound Metra electric line train Thursday night in Douglas on the South Side.
The incident occurred around 7:40 p.m. Thursday when train #345 struck Shemaar Cillis in the 600 block of East 27th Street, Metra and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
Cillis, of Chicago, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 8:27 p.m., according to the medical examiner’s office.
Commuters faced delays as long as 70 minutes but trains resumed to run normally Friday morning.
