FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.—A train belonging to Florida’s higher-speed passenger rail service struck and killed a man walking on the tracks just weeks after the company reopened from the pandemic.

The Brightline train struck the pedestrian Tuesday morning in North Miami Beach as the man didn’t move as the train sounded its horn, officials said. North Miami Beach police did not immediately return a call Wednesday seeking further details.
