Bay Area Rapid Transit said Thursday that there is no BART Service between Antioch and North Concord due to an outside vehicle on the trackway, some buses were available.
At around 3:45am a vehicle crashed through barriers and entered the BART trackway about 100 feet south of the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station. First responders arrived and reported to BART that the person in the vehicle was deceased.
The vehicle is on the BART trackway blocking both sets of tracks and significant damaged to BART’s third rail and track infrastructure occurred and will need repairs once the car is moved out of the way.
BART will begin morning service with no service from Antioch to North Concord. Passengers should go to North Concord to catch a BART train.
Pittsburg/Bay Point station is closed. Antioch Station will not have service to Pittsburg/Bay Point, but the DMU train will take local riders from Antioch to Pittsburg Center.
As of 5am there is one Tri Delta Transit bus from Antioch to Pittsburg Center to Pittsburg Bay/Point and there are two County Connection buses between Pittsburg/Bay Point and North Concord. We are working with partner bus agencies to get more buses at Antioch and Pittsburg Bay Point to connect East Contra Costa riders to North Concord.
The CHP is leading the vehicle investigation and BART crews are on standby to perform track work.
