Metro worker hit by train dies of injuries

A Metro communications technician who was hit by a train last week died Monday of his injuries.

John Moore, 44, of Arlington was struck by a train on the Blue Line near the Braddock Road stop about 10:40 a.m. Thursday when he opened a door from a vent shaft staircase onto the track bed, Metro said. Communication technicians use such stairs to access the sensors inside the tunnels.
