Three people in Pennsylvania are dead after being struck Thursday by a train near Philadelphia.

At a news conference on Thursday, Bristol Borough Police Chief Joe Moors reported that an Amtrak train en route from Boston, Massachusetts, to Richmond, Virginia, was involved in an incident that resulted in the deaths of three individuals.

Police were called to an area near the tracks at about 6 p.m. after receiving reports of people on the tracks.

In a travel advisory, Amtrak announced all rail traffic scheduled to depart New York and Philadelphia is being held.
