A 20-year-old female pedestrian was struck by a train Thursday afternoon in Auburn.

At around 1:50 p.m., Auburn police and fire divisions responded to the train crossing on North Donahue Drive in reference to a pedestrian being struck by a CSX train, according to the Auburn Police Division.

The victim was taken to East Alabama Medical Center for serious injuries but was “conscious and alert,” police said.

Police are looking into if distraction was a factor or played a role in the incident, Dorsey told the Opelika-Auburn News.

The incident remains under investigation.
