Carol J. Oltz, 52, killed after she is struck by a freight train hauling oil cars while walking on the tracks near St. Germain Street in St. Cloud, Minnesota

Authorities on Friday released the identity of the person who was fatally struck by a train in St. Cloud a day earlier. Carol J. Oltz, 52, of St. Cloud, died Thursday morning after the 100-car freight train hit her on the east side of the city, police said. The incident brought a halt to the eastbound BNSF train, which was hauling crude oil, blocking motor vehicle traffic on St. Germain Street and on 7th Street SE. for a few hours in the morning. An Amtrak Empire Builder train also had to sit tight for about 1 hour and 40 minutes while investigators collected evidence at the scene.
