UPDATE: Chance Hoyt, 21, of Portland, was the pedestrian killed Monday after being hit by a MAX train in Beaverton, authorities said Tuesday.

The crash occurred near Southwest 175th Avenue and West Baseline Road, Beaverton police said. Hoyt died at the scene.

Transit officers are investigating what led to the crash. Police said Hoyt was walking west on the south side of Baseline Road at the tracks. She let an eastbound train pass, walked onto the westbound tracks and was hit by a train.

Monday's collision came more than a month after a 26-year-old woman was seriously after she was struck by a freight train near Southwest Lombard Avenue and Beaverton Hillsdale Highway in Beaverton. She survived.

Police said she may have been distracted by her cellphone and didn't notice the train crossing arms down, safety lights flashing and train horn blaring before she was hit.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
