HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) – A pedestrian was killed after they were struck by a Brightline train in Hollywood.
Hollywood Police and Fire Rescue units arrived at the scene near the intersection of Taft Street and the Florida East Coast railroad tracks, Friday morning.
7News cameras captured the victim’s body covered.
According to police, the victim was killed when he was on the southbound portion of the tracks as the Brightline train was making its way through Hollywood.
A witness told 7News he heard the train.
“That’s how I know,” Jose Guzman said. “When this train’s horn blares for 10 seconds straight, someone’s about to get hit, ’cause they don’t even beep the horn crossing these things. They got all these guards and rails, but not this time, unfortunately.”
No other injuries were reported.
As of Friday evening, the victim’s identity is unknown.
The crash remains under investigation.
