A Green Line train hit a pedestrian in St. Paul on Friday afternoon, shutting down a busy intersection for a time.

After the accident, which happened at Snelling and University avenues about 2 p.m., light-rail service was stopped and passengers were redirected to buses. Train service resumed in less than an hour.

The pedestrian was taken to Regions Hospital. No update on that person's condition was available Friday evening.
