Sgt. Cory Wex of the Wauwatosa Police Department said the incident appears to be mental health related.
Wex said the incident occurred around 3 p.m. Friday.
Roads near the incident were shut down following the accident but they have since reopened.
In June 2020 a juvenile was hospitalized with serious injuries after being struck by a train near North 70th and West State streets.
In March 2020 a man died by suicide after he walked in front of a train at North 70th and West State streets.
And in January 2020 a man intentionally walked onto the tracks in front of the train at North 72nd and West State streets.
MURRAY The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an all-time high in mental health issues across the world and a collaboration of health care partners in Utah aims to help.
Intermountain Healthcare has joined with the Utah Department of Human Services, Latino Behavioral Health and the Utah Pride Center to address the COVID-related mental health crisis by connecting the partner organizations to community contributions totaling $67 million to improve access to mental healthcare for marginalized people in Utah.
Utah in particular has struggled to address mental health even before the pandemic, ranking last in the nation for mental health access and sixth highest in the nation for suicide deaths per capita in 2019.
