PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A man fell onto the SEPTA tracks and was killed by an oncoming train on Wednesday, and police say the accident was caught on surveillance video.

The fall happened in South Philadelphia at the Tasker-Morris Station around 7 p.m.

Authorities say the man can be seen stumbling and falling onto the tracks as the train approaches the station.
