Oro Grande,CA : Man struck and killed by train in Oro Grande on October, Monday 2nd 2017

Authorities said a man was struck and killed by a train here Monday morning.

The incident, which occurred near Riverside Preparatory Elementary School in the 19000 block of National Trails Highway, was reported at approximately 9:25 a.m.

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Victor Valley Station Deputy Nicholas Sewell told the Daily Press that the victim was a man from Hawaii, on a trip with his wife traveling along National Trails Highway.

The man, who Sewell said was believed to be 57, apparently saw graffiti on the side of the train tracks, pulled over and got out of his vehicle to take a picture when he was struck by the train.

Cecilia Ramos, who lives across the street from where the collision occurred, said her daughter-in-law “heard screaming.”

“She went outside to check it out and saw his body on the tracks,” Ramos said.
