Tri-Rail train service was delayed Friday morning as authorities investigated a death on the tracks in Pompano Beach.
The Broward Sheriff's Office said their department and Pompano Beach Fire Rescue responded to a pedestrian who was hit by the train near Southwest 12th Avenue and Southwest 3rd Street shortly before 5 a.m.
That person, whose identity wasn't released, was pronounced dead at the scene, but "the circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation," BSO said.
"A bus bridge is established between Cypress Creek and Pompano Beach stations, as trains cannot travel through the area," officials said.
