Woman Pulled To Her Death After Train Doors Close Between Herself And Tethered Dog

The woman alighted from the San Francisco train “at the very last second" and the dog remained on board, transit officials said.

A woman died in San Francisco after the doors of a train closed between herself and her dog, to whom she was tethered via a hands-free leash, and she was pulled along the track.

The woman, whom San Francisco Medical Examiner’s Office identified as 41-year-old local Amy Adams, alighted from the train at Powell Street station “at the very last second” on Monday afternoon, according to Bay Area Rapid Transit.

The doors of the train closed and her dog remained on board, transit officials said in a statement Tuesday, adding that she’d “appeared to be waving at someone.”
