It happened at about 5:30 a.m. on the tracks near the intersection of San Elijo Avenue and Cornish Drive in Encinitas, according to Deputy Christopher Campbell of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
The train had been heading north at about 60-65 mph when the train engineer noticed a man running toward the tracks from the east, Campbell said. The engineer sounded the train’s horn, but the man continued running toward the tracks and dove in front of the oncoming train.

If it wasn't the train, it would've been a high bridge!
ReplyDeleteMessy clean-up.
ReplyDeleteThe poor train conductor.
ReplyDelete24 deaths by train in Encinitas since 1990, exclusive of a 10-year gap in the online record. That's an average of 1.3 per year over 18 years.
ReplyDeleteOne death by train in Solana Beach since 1995.
DeleteMaybe we should paint sharrows on the tracks...
ReplyDelete- 5:13pm - great idea speeding train or vehicle no difference. Lets paint them with red and green to symbolize the blood and vomit that accompanies their presence instead of needed bicycle lanes.
ReplyDeleteHow many people died in Encinitas in 2018? I am thinking at least 5??
