SAN DIEGO—Two men were fatally struck by passenger trains in San Diego on Jan. 11 over a five-hour period on stretches of rail about 13 miles apart, one at the edge of Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve and the other near the city’s international airport.
The first of the two transit-system fatalities occurred about 6:30 a.m. Thursday, when a southbound Coaster train hit a pedestrian near the intersection of Carmel Mountain and Sorrento Valley roads, just west of Interstate 5 and south of state Route 56, sheriff’s Sgt. Jason King said.
