A 17-year-old girl, preoccupied with her cellphone, was hit by a MAX train in Beaverton on Monday, police said.

Witnesses said the teen was looking down at her phone and apparently didn't notice the oncoming eastbound Blue Line train while crossing the MAX tracks near Southwest 158th Avenue and Merlo Road a little before 5:20 p.m., according to Beaverton police.

The girl was conscious and alert by the time officers arrived. She was taken to a hospital with apparent non-life-threatening injuries.

No other injuries have been reported. TriMet said customers should expect delays on the MAX Blue Line in the area.
