Man Killed by Train

The Cal­i­for­nia High­way Patrol says a man was struck and killed by a train in Tulare County after return­ing to retrieve his lunch and other items from the car he had aban­doned on the tracks. CHP Offi­cer Scott Har­ris said the man and his brother were on their way to work around 6 a.m. Mon­day when they became dis­ori­ented in thick fog and made a wrong turn onto the tracks about 15 miles south of Tulare. Har­ris said the man drove about 100 feet down the tracks when his car got stuck. The men tried to dis­lodge the car, but aban­doned it after they heard the com­ing train.
