Man injured in 'fall' at Rogers Park CTA train station

In less than 24 hours, a second man was injured during an apparent accident at a Far North Side Rogers Park train station.

Around 7:50 p.m., authorities were notified that a man fell onto the tracks at the Howard Red Line stop at 7519 North Paulina Street.

Citing police communications, when officers arrived at the scene, the man was unconscious and breathing.

CTA temporarily cut the power, so rescue workers could remove the man from the train tracks.

Power was restored to the effected area around 8:05 p.m.

The injured man was transported to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, Illinios, in unknown condition.

    You're not supposed to use quotes, CNR. It sets off one of the miserable, low-life bar biz soldiers that lurks around here.

    But thanks for the report. These falling off the tracks incidences are too frequent.
