At 5pm today (5/8) a woman was fatally struck by a train moving along the 494 tracks near Molly's Pub and Second Baptist Church. I know many of you have already heard the news or were yourselves stuck in traffic near Kingwood Dr. I was in our offices along Kingwood Dr and heard the engine's breaks screech to a halt. It's chilling to have realized several hours later that the sound was synonymous with a woman's death. I wanted to provide the official account of what happened.Engineers in the southbound train reported to Kingwood HPD that they witnessed a female laying across the tracks and responded by imitating an emergency stop but were unable to cease movement in time to prevent the woman from being fatally struck. Harris County Medical Examiners are still working to verify the woman's identity.
