Metro officials say someone fell onto the subway tracks at a downtown station and was struck by a train, prompting officials to close two stations and turn around some trains.
Metro spokesman Doug Karas said Tuesday the Gallery Place station on the Red Line was closed after the accident and trains were turning around at Judiciary Square and Farragut North.

What a mess (in more ways than one)! I bet the platform was so crowded that she got shoved off and down onto the tracks. It's bad enough during rush hour. I can only imagine what the Metro is like today, especially now that the Gallery Place station is shut down. That's REALLY going to gum up the works in DC even more.

If I were going to DC today, I would seriously consider walking from Silver Spring or Arlington.

I’ve made that walk many times from Arlington, in the summer though.

The closure forced people to walk further to reach the National Mall. I am sorry for the victim, but happy that those nuts have to walk further in the freezing cold.
