What we know:

The CTA announced the suspension shortly after 1 p.m. saying the crash forced all Yellow Line trains out of service while crews responded to the incident.

To help riders get around the disruption, the CTA has requested shuttle buses to operate between the Skokie and Howard stations until rail service resumes.

Service was restored around 3:30 p.m.

What we don't know:

It was not immediately clear whether anyone was injured in the crash.

What you can do:

Commuters are also encouraged to consider alternate routes, including the No. 97 Skokie bus, or connect to other CTA bus routes and rail lines.

Passengers should expect delays and allow extra travel time while the suspension remains in effect.
