Mountain View Woman Identified In Fatal Caltrain Collision

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — The first person fatally struck by a Caltrain in 2018 on Wednesday night has been identified as Mountain View resident Diane Harmon, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office. The 57-year-old woman was struck by a train along the northbound tracks near Rengstorff Avenue and Central Expressway in Mountain View around 8:15 p.m.

About 300 people were on board the train at the time. No one aboard was injured, Caltrain officials said.

The death halted service in both directions in the immediate area until trains could single-track along the southbound tracks with speed restrictions of 15 mph later that night.

The cause of the collision has yet to be determined.
