Coroner IDs Man Killed On Caltrain Tracks In Silicon Valley

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA – A man who was struck and killed by a northbound Caltrain passenger train in Sunnyvale Thursday morning has been identified as 74-year-old Juan Alvarado, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office.

Alvarado, a Santa Clara resident, was killed just after 8 a.m. on tracks near the Lawrence Station at 137 San Zeno Way, Caltrain officials said.

"No matter what the circumstances, it is always regrettable when a life is lost," the agency said in a statement Thursday.

One-hundred-ten passengers were onboard when Alvarado was struck, but nobody onboard was injured.

Alvarado's death is the seventh fatality on Caltrain tracks this year, according to agency officials.
