A pedestrian standing on the tracks in northwestern Minnesota was struck by a freight train early Sunday, authorities said.
The incident involving a BNSF Railway train occurred about 12:15 a.m. in Frazee between the Lake and 5th street crossings in the heart of downtown, according to police.
Police officers and Becker County sheriff's deputies located the victim, described only as a male. His identity will be released upon notification of relatives.
"The person was along the tracks, not at a road crossing," said BNSF spokeswoman Amy McBeth.
Train traffic resumed about 2:30 a.m., McBeth said.
