ATLANTA — Officials say a man was killed when he fell onto the southbound tracks of MARTA at the Midtown station around 7:40 a.m. Tuesday. Rail service was halted for several hours in the area. 

Firefighters said around 9 a.m. that they were working to remove the man from under the train, they said. 

A MARTA spokesperson said the man "fell off the platform" and was "struck by a train."

"It appears the man accidentally fell onto the tracks but the investigation should help determine what happened," a statement read.

Northbound service was stopping at the Civic Center and southbound trains are were stopping at the Lindbergh Center station. Around 11:30 a.m., MARTA said the station had reopened, but they were operating a temporary single track at North Avenue and Arts Center. All trains were boarding from the northbound platform. 

MARTA warned those traveling that delays would continue on the north/south line.

MARTA was offering subsidized transportation through MARTAConnect where riders could get a $15 Uber credit. 

Correction: Due to an emergency situation at Midtown, SB & NB trains are now boarding from the NB platform at Arts Center & North Ave. Bus bridge service remains in effect, at Midtown, Arts Center, & North Ave. We appreciate your patience.
