Woman Dies in Second SoCal Train Crash

A woman died at the scene of a Metrolink train crash in Covina hours after a man was also hit and killed by a freight train in Oceanside early Wednesday morning.

The woman was yet to be identified but it is said that she was trespassing the property and was on a restricted area when she was hit by the train carrying more than a hundred passengers. No one else was reportedly injured in the accident.

The Metrolink train was heading to the Union Station in Los Angeles from San Bernardino. The passengers were eventually transported by bus as the train blocked Covina’s intersection of Glendora and Glenn avenues. The train services continued a few hours after the accident.

Pedestrians should be cautious when crossing train tracks and should never go to restricted areas where their presence is not expected.
