OAKLAND — A man was killed instantly Tuesday night when he was hit by a freight train in East Oakland, authorities said.
The coroner’s bureau was trying to confirm the man’s name Wednesday morning and contact his relatives.
The fatal collision happened about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday in the area of 66th Avenue and Coliseum Way.
The man was apparently walking on the tracks when he was hit by a Union Pacific freight train, causing massive injuries, authorities said.
There were no immediate reports of anyone on the train being injured.
The death is being investigated by the coroner’s bureau and Union Pacific police.
The man is the second person to be killed by a Union Pacific freight train in the same area in just over a month. On Nov. 19 a 79-year-old man reportedly sitting on the tracks in the area of 60th Avenue and San Leandro Street was struck and killed by a train.
