The woman who died Sunday after being struck by light-rail trains in St. Paul was a 60-year-old from Minneapolis, a Metro Transit official said Tuesday.

Metro Transit police continue to investigate Kim R. Heuer’s death.

Heuer was struck about 3:15 p.m. Sunday by Green Line trains — one was heading eastbound and the other westbound, said Drew Kerr, a Metro Transit spokesman.

Investigators are trying to determine why Heuer was standing between the eastbound and westbound tracks on University Avenue near Pascal Street in an area marked as a hazard zone.

The operators of both trains were put on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure, while the investigation is underway, Kerr said.

Heuer was the fifth person to die in a Green Line crash since the line opened in June 2014.

Four pedestrians or bicyclists were killed in automobile crashes each of the past two years, according to city of St. Paul pedestrian and bike crash data.
