A woman died in a train accident at South 48th Street and South Adams Street in Tacoma earlier today, according to Tacoma Police Department spokesperson Shelbie Boyd.
S Line commuter trains were delayed between the Tacoma Dome and Lakewood as a result, according to a Sound Transit news release.
“Passengers are encouraged to seek alternative service options and plan ahead for additional travel time,” the release said.
