EDMONDS — One person was killed when a train struck a pedestrian Tuesday in Edmonds, police said.
Around 12:40 p.m., police received a 911 call about a person in crisis at the railroad tracks in the 700 block of Driftwood Lane. During their search, officers were “advised that a train had struck someone,” Edmonds police Cmdr. Josh McClure said.
The tracks remain closed as police investigated Tuesday.
Prior to Tuesday, 18 people had been struck and killed by trains in Snohomish County in the past five years, according to the state Utilities and Transportation Commission.
This comes nearly three weeks after the death of Molly Hubbard, an Index woman who was fatally struck by an oncoming train. Hubbard was the 10th person statewide to be killed by a train this year.
