Significant delays were reported Saturday on the MBTA's Commuter Rail with buses temporarily brought in due to an incident in Natick, Massachusetts.

The MBTA said just before 2 p.m. that Framingham/Worcester Line trains would experience significant delays in both directions due to police activity on the right of way in Natick.

Trains would hold as they approach the area, the MBTA said.

In a second update on social media, the MBTA said passengers on that line would be bussed in both directions between Wellesley Square and Framingham to connect with a train for continued service.

"Severe delays may still occur," they wrote online.

A third update around 3:20 p.m. said trains were now able to operate through the Natick area on one track at a reduced speed. The MBTA said delays would still occur due to the police activity.

The Middlesex County District Attorney's Office said later Saturday it is investigating after a train fatally struck a person.
