A person on the tracks at BART’s Bay Fair station in San Leandro was struck and killed by a train Thursday afternoon, the transit agency said.

The person killed was not immediately identified. The incident was reported at 2:43 p.m., said Alicia Trost, a spokeswoman for BART.

The incident prompted a nearly two-hour closure of the Bay Fair station. It reopened just before 4:30 p.m. Trains single-tracked through the area during the closure, causing major delays throughout the system.
