It’s important to watch out for cars while walking, but any moving vehicle can be dangerous. In this case, a pedestrian was hit by a Link light rail train. Fortunately, the train was going slowly enough that injuries aren’t life threatening.
A teenager was taken to the hospital after being struck by a Sound Transit Light Rail train Friday afternoon.
It happened around 3:45 p.m. at S. Othello Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way S.
A Sound Transit worker tells KING 5 the girl was on her cell phone when she walked in front of the train.
A Seattle Fire Department spokesperson says the girl was conscious and alert. It appears her injuries are non-life threatening. She was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
