Male Subject Loses Life After Being Struck by Approaching Train

HESPERIA – A male subject lost his life after being struck by a train early Saturday morning. At around 7:35 a.m. deputies from the Hesperia Station and emergency medical personnel responded to Hesperia Road near Muscatel Street for the report of the male subject who was hit by the train.

Deputies arrived and had a difficult time immediately locating the victim who the train conductor said was wearing an orange shirt and could have been anywhere within a mile south of Muscatel. San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputy Adam Cervantes said that the unresponsive victim was eventually located around 40 feet from the tracks.
