DEATH: Man killed by Amtrak train southwest of Tri-Cities By John
Trumbo, Tri-City Herald staff writer
A 47-year-old Bend, Ore., man was killed this morning when he was
hit by an Amtrak train while hunting with two friends from
Kennewick.
The accident happened at 6:30 a.m. about 10 miles east of
Roosevelt, Wash., along Highway 14 and the Columbia River, said the
Benton County Sheriff's Office.
The man, whose name was not released, was apparently trying to
catch a hunting dog that had wandered near the railroad tracks. It's
not clear why he was not aware of the on-coming train.
