BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A woman is dead after she was hit by a train at Boulevard Park in Bellingham Monday afternoon.
BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas says the woman was on the tracks at about 3:30 PM when a southbound train hauling general freight struck her.
The victim hasn’t been identified and it’s unclear why she was on the tracks.
Melonas says the BNSF police joined the Bellingham Police’s full investigation of the incident.
This is the twenty-first person hit and killed by a BNSF train in Washington this year.
