An Aurora pedestrian was struck by a train Wednesday morning after trespassing on the tracks as the A Line approached, according to the Regional Transportation District.
The unidentified victim was a “trespasser” because the Peoria Station crossing areas were closed to pedestrians for the incoming train at the time of the incident, RTD spokesperson Tara Broghammer said.
“When an individual enters railroad property anywhere other than a designated pedestrian or roadway crossing, or when either crossing is closed, it is illegal and considered trespassing,” Broghammer said in an email to The Denver Post.
Broghammer said the victim was hit just after 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, and paramedics took the person to the hospital with unknown injuries at 7:50 a.m. At that time, the pedestrian was still alive.
No one on the A Line commuter rail train was injured, and buses temporarily replaced the train between the Central Park and 40th & Airport Boulevard stations while police investigated, Broghammer said.
