Services have been restored to all three light-rail lines that were closed earlier after a pedestrian was hit and killed in a light rail collision early Wednesday morning.

The accident involving a suicidal man happened on the E and F line around 4:30 a.m. near the Louisiana and Pearl Station, said Nate Currey, spokesman for RTD.

The E, F and H lines were reopened about 8 a.m. after they had been closed for several hours, Currey said. The E and F lines were restored temporarily until Denver police asked RTD to close them so they can complete their investigation, he said.

E, F, H lines are running. Bus shuttles stopped at 8 a.m. People were warned to expect delays until at least 9 a.m. as the trains get back on line, according to RTD tweets.
