The Seattle Police Department says a man in his early 20s is dead after being hit by a train at Carkeek Park.
Police detective Jeff Kappel says the accident occurred Saturday night near a pedestrian walkway at the park.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe spokesman Gus Melonas says the train was a BNSF freight train that had just left Seattle bound for Chicago. Melonas says there was a report that a number of individuals were on the track when the train sounded its horn and all but one of the individuals scattered. The individual who remained on the track was killed.
