The incident occurred near the 2200 block of Adams Place, where the Amtrak train operator confirmed the collision. Emergency crews searched the area and found the victim deceased near the 2000 block of Bladensburg Road.
The D.C. Metro Police Department is investigating the crash. Amtrak reported Monday evening that trains traveling in and out of the station, and BWI Marshall Airport is experiencing delays due to the deadly collision, as investigators requested a hold on all train travel in the area during the investigation.
