Man fatally struck by freight train in Industry


INDUSTRY >> A man died after he was struck by a freight train in Industry early Saturday, officials said.
Foul play was not suspected in the incident, which was reported about 7 a.m. on a set of train tracks near the 800 block of Lemon Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. David Infante said. The man’s age was not clear Saturday.
The personnel aboard the Union Pacific saw a man on the tracks, sounded the horn and applied the brakes, but could not stop the train in time to avoid hitting the man, the lieutenant said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The cause of death will be determined through an autopsy by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.
