A man was struck and killed by a SEPTA train Sunday afternoon at the Tasker-Morris station along the Broad Street line.

The man, who police believe was 30-years-old, was struck by a northbound SEPTA Broad Street Line train on the 1600 block of South Broad Street at 2:03 p.m.

The unidentified man jumped in front of the train, according to investigators. He was pronounced dead by a medic at the scene at 2:19 p.m.

Train service has resumed on the Broad Street Line between AT&T and Lombard-South stations. However, trains in both directions will temporarily bypass Tasker-Morris Station due to the ongoing police activity.
