WASHINGTON – Metro riders may experience some delays on the Blue, Orange and Silver lines Friday after a person intentionally stepped on the tracks.

Metro says a person was struck by a Metro train at the L’Enfant Plaza station at about 6:15 p.m. Metro says it was a suicide attempt.

The investigation is causing the Blue, Orange and Silver lives to single track between Federal Center and Smithsonian stations.

It seats up to eight, can be equipped with almost every luxury touch and competes with SUVs costing thousands (or tens of thousands) more.
