A person has been struck and killed by a Brightline train along the Treasure Coast.

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office says a trespasser on the tracks near Midway Road in Fort Pierce was hit by a train just before 9 a.m. Thursday.

The crash comes less than a week after Brightline has expanded its service to Orlando.

No further details are known.

Law enforcement says that nearly all of these types of crashes involving trains are suicides.
