Man Hit and Killed by Amtrak Train in San Diego

Police recently reported that a man from Palm Springs was killed over the weekend in Oceanside when he was hit by an Amtrak train that was traveling to San Diego from Los Angeles County.

According to reports, 46-year-old Roger Lee Bailey was a pedestrian that was attempting to cross the tracks which are located on Surfrider Way.  As he was trying to cross the tracks, the Amtrak train struck him at 11:55 PM on Saturday said the Oceanside police and San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.

Right before he was hit by the train, he ran under the closed crossing guard and tripped, falling directly into the path of the oncoming train.  After he was hit, Bailey was thrown a short distance into a nearby street.

The medical examiner's office said that he died from multiple blunt force injuries.
