Third fatality on light-rail tracks in Rancho Cordova identified
In mid-November, a 15-year-old girl was struck when crossing the tracks at a pedestrian passage, and a week later a man was killed when he reportedly lay down on the tracks in front of a train, transit officials said.
At about 3:00pm, Murdock was crossing the train tracks when a train was quickly approaching. The train operator activated the brakes as soon as he could, but it was too late and Murdock was struck and killed by the train. We will update this accident if more information is released.
