A man in his 30s was struck by a Metra train while riding a bicycle and trying to cross the tracks Thursday morning along the Milwaukee District West line, a Metra spokesperson said.
The man was hit about 7:20 a.m. at the Schaumburg station, 2000 S. Springinsguth Road by an outbound train, according to Metra spokesperson Meg Thomas-Reile.
He was rushed to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove by Roselle firefighters, who happened to be nearby when he was struck, Thomas-Reile said. As of Thursday afternoon, the victim was in surgery, and his condition was not immediately known.
Train traffic reopened on one track within an hour of the cyclist being struck, and the other track reopened after 9:30 a.m.
