DENVER (AP) - Colorado authorities say a man was struck killed by a light rail train that travels between Golden and Denver.

Golden police say witnesses reported seeing the man walking westbound on the tracks when he was hit by the train shortly before 8 p.m. Friday. The train had just left the Jefferson County government center.

Its driver saw the man, blasted the train's horn and braked but was unable to stop in time, police say. Golden Police and the RTD are investigating the death. The victim's identity was not immediately released.
