Another Death on Metro

The Washington Post is reporting another death on Metro today.

"The Orange Line train, which was bound for New Carrollton, struck the unidentified adult male at about 1:44 a.m., officials said."

No foul play is suspected.

On Friday afternoon, another man, Metrobus driver Kurtland Johnson, jumped onto the tracks at the McPherson Square Metro station and was killed by a Blue Line train.
