An Amtrak Capitol Corridor train fatally struck a person in Fremont Tuesday afternoon, a spokeswoman said.

According to the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau, the victim was a 73-year-old Fremont man named Inderjit Valia.

At approximately 1 pm, Valia was struck by a train traveling from San Jose to Sacramento while attempting to cross the tracks, Amtrak officials said.

Valia was walking east on Nursery Avenue when he was hit, said Fremont police.

The train was traveling from Sacramento to San Jose when it struck the victim at about 1 p.m., Amtrak spokeswoman Danelle Hunter said.

No passengers or crew onboard the train were injured, Hunter said. Passengers were bused to their final destination, and other Capitol Corridor trains were being rerouted around the area while an investigation was under way, Hunter said.

No significant delays were reported.

Motorists told Patch that Nursery Avenue between Mission and Niles boulevards was closed throughout the afternoon but roads were re-open by 4:45 p.m.
