Ventura County: Amtrak Train 785 Strikes and Kills Two Near Faria Beach Park on Nov. 13
Two people were struck and killed by an Amtrak train in Ventura County on the night of November 13. The Ventura County Fire Department said Amtrak Train 785, a Pacific Surfliner traveling from San Diego to Goleta, hit two people trespassing on the tracks in the 4300 block of Pacific Coast Highway near Faria Beach Park at around 9:45 p.m., and both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Amtrak said none of the 119 passengers and crew members on board was injured, and that the company is working with local law enforcement to investigate the incident.
The Ventura County Sheriff's Office and Amtrak police took over the investigation, and the California Highway Patrol also responded. The sheriff's Major Crimes Unit is investigating, according to reports, and the identities of the two people killed have not been released.
The train arrived several hours late at its next stop in Carpinteria. Amtrak said trespassing is the leading cause of rail-related deaths in America and that such incidents are reminders to obey the law and exercise extreme caution around railroad tracks and grade crossings.
