Man hospitalized after being struck by light rail train in downtown Sacramento
A man was hospitalized Tuesday afternoon after he was hit by a Sacramento Regional Transit light rail train in downtown Sacramento, disrupting Blue Line service for about an hour.
The incident occurred just before 1 p.m. at the 12th Street underpass near C Street in the Mansion Flats neighborhood, according to RT spokesperson Jessica Gonzalez.
The pedestrian, described as an unhoused man in his 60s, suffered a leg injury and was transported to a hospital.
“Preliminary reports indicate this may have been an attempted suicide,” Gonzalez said.
Train service resumed after a brief disruption to Blue Line operations, RT said.
