A South Side Metra line was delayed Saturday night after a train struck a car in Washington Heights.

A Metra Rock Island train on its way to Joliet hit a car around 7:30 p.m. near the 103rd Street station at 10355 S. Vincennes Ave. in Washington Heights, the rail system said.

Trains in both directions were stopped, and the duration of the delay was unknown.

No other information was immediately available.

The Washington Commanders have reportedly waived former Ron Rivera 2nd round pick DT Phidarian Mathis. This was an expected move from the team for several reasons. He has been a healthy scratch for the last three games and practice squad DT Carl Davis was elevated to get playing time over him. Dan Quinn called it “internal competition” which means he was beat out for his spot. His first two year’s were plagued by injuries, now healthy, he’s just not good enough.

Jonathan Allen has been on injured reserve since tearing his pectoral against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. His injury wasn’t as serious as first feared and he’s now set to rejoin the team. His 21-day practice window was opened last Wednesday, but he was limited on practice last week and wasn’t activated. Allen’s been a full participant this week, and will need to be activated by 4pm today to play against the Atlanta Falcons tomorrow night. He is expected to be on a snap counts during his first game back since October

Earlier in the week Greg Joseph was waived from the practice squad, and he was signed to the Jets practice squad the next day. Zane Gonzalez is healthy, and Austin Seibert is eligible to return from IR next week. His spot was filled with the signing of 9-year veteran WR Chris Moore.
