This week, an Amtrak train accident took the life of a 48-year-old man. The northbound train struck and killed the Florida man, who was standing on the tracks at the time. Florida Highway Patrol said, in a news release, that the train hit the man near DeLand. At the time, the train was carrying 497 passengers. However, there were no other injuries reported.
As of right now, the man’s name has not yet been released and troopers say that they don’t know why he was standing on the tracks.
