Man Rescued Under BART Train

Alameda County Firefighters rescue a man who fell onto the tracks at the Castro Valley BART station at about 2:30 p.m., last Tuesday. Crews used a search camera to locate the man who was spotted under a train. The electric 3rd Rail was de-energized and the BART cars were separated to access the man. Trains were stopped for a couple of hours due to a “major medical emergency,” BART said in its alert. Details have yet to be released on how the man got from the platform to the BART tracks and under the train. He was treated for his injuries at a local hospital.
