Pedestrian fatally struck by Amtrak train in Coon Rapids

May 21, 2019 at 12:31AM

An Amtrak train heading from Seattle to Chicago hit a pedestrian on the tracks Monday about 6:30 a.m., said Capt. Tom Hawley of the Coon Rapids Police Department.

None of the 130 people on board the train were hurt.

The crash, just north of 85th Avenue NW. near Norway Street, disrupted rail service, including significant delays for inbound Northstar commuter trains.

Hawley said police, the Anoka County Sheriff's Office and the crime lab were on the scene.
