BEND, Ore. -- A male pedestrian was struck and killed by a Burlington Northern-Santa Fe freight train in southern Bend early Monday morning, police said.

Around 4:40 a.m., police received a call that a BNSF train train conductor reported a pedestrian was struck by a train near the intersection with Reed Market Road, Bend Police Community Relations Manager Jessica Rich said in a news release.

When officers arrived, the northbound train was stopped, blocking both directions of Reed Market Road at the railroad crossing, Rich said.

Officers found an unconscious man on the west side of the railroad tracks and immediately began CPR. The man was taken by Bend Fire ambulance to St. Charles Bend, where he later died from his injuries, Rich said.

Reed Market Road was closed in both directions for about two hours during an investigation by Bend Police and BNSF Railway.

This is an ongoing investigation, Rich said, and the name of the man is being withheld until his family is notified.
