RTD has reopened the A Line after a commuter train struck and injured a pedestrian Wednesday morning.

The person who was hit was trespassing in a crossing area that was closed as the train rode by at the Peoria Station around 7:31 a.m., RTD spokesperson Tara Broghammer said.

“The individual was alive and transported to the hospital,” she said. “There were no injuries to anyone on the A Line train.”

Some stops to and from Denver International Airport were closed for more than an hour.

RTD shuttled passengers on buses while the stations were closed due to police activity.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
