A pedestrian was struck by a train and killed Sunday afternoon in Oceanside, a sheriff’s lieutenant said.
It happened about 12:30 p.m. near where Mission Avenue crosses the train tracks between North Cleveland and North Myers streets, sheriff’s Lt. Josh Stone said. The area is approximately two blocks east of the beach and the city’s pier.
Information about the person who was killed was not immediately available.
Oceanside police said an Amtrak train was involved and there were some roadway closures in the area. Some rail traffic in the area, including the North County Transit District’s Coaster commuter train, was delayed about 40 minutes after the crash, according to the agency’s posts on social media.
