A 28-year-man who was struck and killed by a Metrolink train in Burbank was identified Tuesday by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.
The crash happened around 5:50 a.m. Friday at the rail crossing at Buena Vista Street and Vanowen Street, along Metrolink’s Ventura County Line, which runs through Burbank to Union Station.
Officers responded to the location shortly after getting a report of a pedestrian being struck, according to the Burbank Police Department.
“The train, which was traveling south at the time, slowed to a stop following the collision. There were no reported injuries to passengers on the train,” police reported.
The medical examiner identified the victim as David James Betton, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
