SUMNER (AP) — Officials say two pedestrians were struck and killed by Sound Transit trains in separate incidents in Sumner and Kent, and a third person may have been hit in Seattle.
The Seattle Times reported a train headed from Lakewood to Seattle hit a person around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday in Pierce County. Sound Transit says the train was shut down during investigation, and approximately seven trains behind it were delayed.
Spokeswoman Rachelle Cunningham says a second person was fatally struck by a train in Kent that was headed to Seattle from Tacoma around 5 p.m. Some later trains were canceled Tuesday evening.
A third person may have been hit Tuesday morning by a Sounder train, but officials are still determining if the person was struck.
