A man in his 40s died after a train struck him near Myeonghak Station on Line No. 1 in Anyang, Gyeonggi, at around 11:40 p.m. on Wednesday.

The train departed from Seodongtan Station in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, and was bound for Guro District, western Seoul. The accident occurred just before it arrived at Myeonghak Station.

About 200 passengers disembarked at Myeonghak Station after the accident. The Korea Railroad Corporation (Korail) restricted one of the two northbound tracks toward Seoul until around 12:30 a.m. on Thursday.

Korail said it believes the man entered the tracks without authorization, leading to the accident.
