Trains on the South Chicago branch of the Metra Electric District line are on the move again after a train struck a vehicle Wednesday morning on the South Side.

Outbound train No. 307, which left Chicago at 6:50 a.m., struck the vehicle about 7:10 a.m. near the Bryn Mawr station at East 71st Street and South Jeffery Avenue, according to Metra spokesman Tom Miller.

An adult who was inside the vehicle at the time refused medical treatment, Chicago Fire Department Cmdr. Walter Schroeder said.

Trains were halted after the crash, but were on the move again without delays as of 9:30 a.m., according to the transit agency.
