One person was struck and killed by a freight train overnight in Downers Grove.

Metra trains were shut down in both directions for more than two hours, while authorities conducted their investigation on the scene.

So far authorities have not released any details about the victim.

Trains are running again, but Metra says some trains are still running behind schedule

Suicide by train? Drunk or drugged person?  Who knows?
