Service restored between Antioch and North Concord following earlier outside vehicle on the trackway

7:40 am UPDATE

Full service restored between Antioch and North Concord/Martinez after vehicle crash. 

7:25 am UPDATE

Track inspections underway in anticipation of full service restoration shortly.

7:10 am UPDATE

Vehicle has been lifted from the trackway. And crews are making the repairs to the third rail cover-board and fencing.
We are hoping to open at least one trackway in about 30 minutes.

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 train service from Antioch to North Concord. Passengers should go to North Concord to catch a BART train.

Antioch Station will not have service to Pittsburg/Bay Point, but the DMU train will take local riders from Antioch to Pittsburg Center.

Bus Info:

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. 

Extra staff are at impacted stations.

The CHP is leading the vehicle investigation and BART crews are on standby to perform track work.
