Officials are investigating the case of a pedestrian that was hit and killed by a Metrolink train on Monday. Just after 5 PM as the train was passing through the intersection of 8th Street and N. Euclid Avenue the train instantly killed the pedestrian.

The tracks, which are heavily traveled in that section of Upland, were shut down for hours as detectives and coroner's officials came in to investigate the accident. Passengers were taken away by buses brought in by Metrolink.

Nobody is sure yet of why the pedestrian was on the tracks to begin with.

According the Sheriff's Department in Los Angeles, a man by the name of Steven Bauer (not the actor from Scarface) was involved in an accident with a pedestrian while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway this past Friday evening.

Police say that Bauer was heading home when he struck a Malibu resident by the name of Brent Rosenberg at approximately 6:00 PM.

Supposedly, Rosenberg had parked his car on the north side of the PCH, which is known to be quite dangerous, and was trying to cross the street to reach his home on the opposite side when the pedestrian accident occurred.  Police say there was a median in the stretch of highway where Rosenberg attempted to cross after a car stopped for him, but as he stepped out into traffic, he was hit by Bauer's SUV.

Bauer suffered major injuries during the collision and was airlifted to UCLA Medical Center.  His condition was reported as critical.
