Officials have determined that the death of a person killed from being struck by a train Sunday was not an accident, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said Monday.

The train struck the person about 4 p.m. Sunday on the train tracks at the intersection of Seventh and Maple streets. Several witnesses called in reports of a pedestrian hit by a train, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Craig Shanks said.

The person died at the scene, Shanks said.

The train tracks and the intersection remained closed much of Sunday while police continued their investigation and the coroner made his report, Shanks said. By about 8:30 p.m., northbound train traffic had resumed, but the southbound line remained blocked by investigators and first responders.

Officials determined the death was nonaccidental, based on witness statements, McKinley said.
