A man died after being struck by a train at the PATCO station in Collingswood on Friday morning, authorities said.

The incident occurred about 8 a.m. The man, who had not been identified Friday afternoon, was pronounced dead at the scene, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Delaware River Port Authority Police Sgt. Sean Longfellow said that the death did not appear to be criminal in nature and that no one else was seen near the man at the time. Police are continuing to investigate, he said.

The station reopened about 1:15 p.m., DRPA spokesperson Mike Williams said. PATCO trains were running earlier, but bypassed the station, he said.

The DRPA Police Department, Collingswood police, and the Prosecutor’s Office responded to the scene. Anyone with information about the man’s death is being asked to contact Longfellow at 856-969-7836.
