A man was hospitalized Monday morning after he was struck by a train.
The collision occurred about a mile south of Kalama around 9:30 a.m., BNSF Railway spokesman Gus Melonas said.
Melonas said the train was hauling a load of general merchandise from Pasco to British Columbia when it hit the man. He appeared to have been hit in the shoulder and was taken to a hospital.
Melonas said the collision was the fifth on BNSF tracks in Washington in five days. The other four were fatal.
