dead man on campus

A man is dead after being struck by a train Sunday evening near Robinson Street.

The victim is a male in his mid-20s, possibly Hispanic, and was pronounced dead at the scene, said Lt. Blake Green with the Norman Police Department. Green said he didn’t know why the man was on the tracks.

Norman police, fire and emergency crews responded about 6:50 p.m. Sunday evening to reports of a pedestrian being struck by a train near the railroad tracks north of Robinson Street.

The accident was called in by the conductor of the train, Green said. Eight NPD investigative officers responded along with Burlington Northern Santa Fe police officers.

The northbound train was stopped and still was blocking the intersection at Robinson Street as of 9 p.m. Sunday.

Green said the intersections between Main Street north to Lexington Avenue would be closed at least 3-4 hours while the accident was investigated.
