Man Fatally Struck By Train In San Diego

SAN DIEGO, CA — A man was hit and killed by a train Sunday in San Diego.

The deadly collision happened at 3:25 p.m. near the intersection of Pacific Highway and West Washington Street, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

"When San Diego police officers arrived, they found a man who was hit by a northbound Coaster train," sheriff's Sgt. Jason King said. "Paramedics rushed to give aid, but he did not survive his injuries."
