The SFMTA, SFPD and the California Public Utilities Commission are reviewing detailed footage from near the Arleta Station in San Francisco after a pedestrian was killed by a light rail train in San Francisco.A San Francisco police spokesperson says SFPD responded just after 10 p.m. to Bayshore Boulevard and Arleta Avenue to meet with Muni personnel regarding human remains discovered on the Muni tracks.
"The medical examiner is conducting their investigation in this incident. Our traffic collision investigative unit also responded to the scene and are currently investigating how this may have occurred," said Officer Robert Rueca. Based on their video review, the SFMTA says investigators will make recommendations about what, if anything, could prevent a collision like this from happening again."The scene spanned for several hundred feet but that's not necessarily the area that the victim may have been dragged," said Officer Rueca.If you're on the ABC7 News app,
