Update person under train @wmata Gallery Place Metro station. Firefighters have rescued female patient from beneath Red Line train who will be transported with critical injuries. #DCsBravest

Expect this to be a service suspension, not single-tracking. With side platforms on the Red Line at Gallery Place, DCFEMS will need access to both tracks.

#WMATA

Red Line: Trains are single tracking btwn Judiciary Square and Farragut North because of a trespasser struck by a train at Gallery Place. Expect delays in both directions.

Not a great thing to hear from a #WMATA rail controller, over an hour after the work unit derailment:

"Who's in charge of the scene?"
