A railroad worker died at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway transit hub in La Mirada early Wednesday after two trains collided and pinned him between them, authorities said.
Rescue workers were called to the train tracks near Beach Boulevard and Stage Road shortly before 12:30 a.m., according to the Orange County Fire Authority. They found a person had been crushed between two trains, fire officials said. He was declared dead at the scene.
The victim’s identity was not released because his family members hadn’t yet been notified Thursday afternoon. He was in his 40s, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office said. BNSF described him as an employee who had been working in the railyard and said the company would cooperate with a National Transportation Safety Board investigation.
One person was killed Wednesday morning when two Burlington Northern Santa Fe trains sideswiped each other on the tracks near the border of Buena Park and La.
