A woman were killed and a man suffered major injuries in separate incidents involving Coaster commuter trains in San Diego County on Labor Day, authorities said Tuesday.
The man was hospitalized with major injuries after he was struck at 9 p.m. Monday by a northbound train near the intersection of Via De La Valle and Camino Del Mar in Del Mar, according to San Diego Sheriff’s Sgt. Jason King.
Earlier the same day, a woman was fatally struck by a northbound Coaster about 3:30 p.m. near the intersection of Morena Boulevard and Asher Street in San Diego, King said.
“When San Diego police officers arrived, they found a woman who was hit by a northbound Coaster train,” King said. “Paramedics rushed to give aid, but she did not survive her injuries.”
The Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the woman and notify relatives of her death.
