Train hit a pedestrian south of carpinteria. Amtrak delayed
A man crossing with his dogs. I wonder if this was near the Santa Claus Lane beach? That’s a sketchy spot for crossing the tracks, especially with dogs 🙁 https://www.noozhawk.com/man-dies-after-being-struck-by-amtrak-train-in-carpinteria/
Gotcha!
Sad either way 🙁
If you read the (brief I know) article above, it says west of Rincon Park, meaning Bates Rd., not Santa Claus
Years ago there was a resident and his dog that was struck and killed at the end of Arbol Verde while they were crossing the tracks. Always remember that…
