Man struck by Caltrain in San Bruno

A man was struck by a Caltrain late Tuesday night in San Bruno, authorities said.

The age and identity of the person was not immediately available. He was taken to a local hospital, where his condition was not known.

The incident happened when a southbound train hit a man “who was on the tracks illegally” at 10:03 p.m., said Caltrain spokeswoman Tasha Bartholomew.

The circumstances leading up to the collision under investigation, Bartholomew said.

Trains were stopped in both directions for less than an hour before they were single-tracked past the scene, she said.
