FREMONT, CA — An Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) train apparently hit and killed a person on the tracks Tuesday morning in Fremont.

The incident happened Tuesday morning in the Baylands area of Fremont just south of Auto Mall Parkway.

Fremont Police said at 11:50 a.m. it responded to an assist for Union Pacific Railroad on a report of a train possibly striking a pedestrian and deferred inquiries to the railroad, which has jurisdiction over the trackway.

Video from above the scene showed personnel with the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau recovering a body next to the tracks, a few hundred yards behind a stopped ACE train.
