Fatal Train Collisions Halt Amtrak and SEPTA Services in Bucks County

Two deadly incidents in as many days have disrupted travel between Philadelphia and New York as investigations continue.

Three pedestrians were fatally struck by an Amtrak Acela train near Bristol Station in Bucks County on Thursday, April 3, 2025.
The collision occurred just before 6 p.m. as the train, carrying 236 passengers and crew, traveled south towards Philadelphia.
This marks the second fatal train-pedestrian incident in Bucks County this week, following a similar tragedy near Cornwells Heights Station on Wednesday.
Amtrak and SEPTA services between Philadelphia and New York have been suspended, with no timeline for resumption announced yet.
Amtrak has apologized for the disruptions and is collaborating with local authorities to investigate the causes and ensure safety measures.
