A person was struck and killed Monday evening by an Amtrak train in Northeast Washington, authorities said.

The train struck the unnamed person at around 6:37 p.m. Monday, according to an Amtrak alert on X. The collision occurred near 2200 Adams Place NE, D.C. Fire and EMS said in a post.

The victim was found in the 2000 block of Bladensburg Road NE and was declared dead at the scene, D.C. firefighters said in an update.

The victim was a trespasser, Amtrak said, and the response to the strike left train traffic delayed for hours.
