BEND, Ore. (AP) — A Bend-area grocery store manager was struck and killed by an Amtrak train while chasing his dog during a duck hunting outing in southeast Washington.
KTVZ-TV reports (http://bit.ly/rSMGAV ) the victim was identified as 47-year-old Steve Allison of Powell Butte, who was a longtime manager at the Albertsons supermarket in northeast Bend. Company spokeswoman Lilia Rodriguez says it is a tremendous loss for the Allison family and for Albertsons, where he worked for more than 30 years.
Benton County Sheriff’s Sgt. Bob Brockman says Allison was duck hunting with two friends early Friday morning about 10 miles east of Roosevelt, Wash. Witnesses told police Allison was trying to chase down his dog and stepped directly in front of the train.
