Caltrain Strikes Person on San Antonio Station Platform in Mountain View

A Caltrain struck a man who was standing too close to the tracks near the platform of the agency's San Antonio station in Mountain View Wednesday morning, a Caltrain spokeswoman said.

The person was struck at 7:42 a.m. by southbound train No. 210 at the station at 190 Showers Drive. The person is alive and being taken to a hospital, Caltrain spokeswoman Tasha Bartholomew said.

Trains were initially stopped in both directions, but began single-tracking in the area with a 30 mph speed restriction as of shortly after 8 a.m., Bartholomew said.

Other trains in the system are being delayed up to 15 minutes, she said.
