by KYW's Ian Bush

Service resumed along Septa's Broad Street subway line on Wednesday afternoon after a teenager was struck and killed on the southbound tracks.

The incident happened just before noon at the Susquehanna station. 

Police say a 16-year-old jumped in front of approaching subway cars and was killed.

Septa used shuttle buses in both directions between between the Erie Avenue and Girard Avenue stations, and suspended the Broad-Ridge Spur.  Normal service resumed before 3pm.
