301 Railroad Ave. N.,<\/a> said BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas, in a phone interview. He estimated the time of the accident at about 8:30 a.m.<\/p>\n“A freight train made impact with the woman,” Melonas said.<\/p>\n
BNSF had no reports initially from train crews about striking anyone, Melonas said. But investigators later determined the woman had been hit by a train just north of West Smith Street and east of the Kent Station shopping center.<\/p>\n
The King County Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet released the woman’s name.<\/p>\n
On June 23, a freight train struck and killed Antonio Sanchez, 35, of Auburn, on the tracks in south Kent at about 5:19 a.m. near the trestle over South 266th Street, south of Willis Street and west of Central Avenue South.<\/p>\n
Ten people have been killed so far this year on BNSF tracks in the state, Melonas said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
