Just as BART was recovering from an earlier delay due to a major medical emergency, another major delay was reported by the transit agency on Wednesday evening.

BART reported just before 6 p.m. that there's a major delay on the San Francisco line in the Dublin/Pleasanton direction due to a an equipment problem on a train.

On Wednesday afternoon, a man was struck by a train arriving at the Bay Fair BART station, leading to a brief closure of the station, according to a BART spokesperson.

According to BART, the incident occurred about 4 p.m. when a man was standing on the yellow tile area of the platform at Bay Fair BART when he was struck by a northbound Warm Springs-to-Richmond train.

He was transported to a hospital in the East Bay, officials said, but his condition is unknown. BART police are considering the incident an accident.

The incident led to the station being shut down for about 30 minutes. Trains were not stopping at the station, according to BART's Twitter account, which led to delays through the BART system.

This story is developing and details will emerge as they become available.
