DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Delray Beach police are investigating the death of a person struck by a Brightline train Saturday morning.

Police confirm the person was struck near Gulfstream Boulevard and Old Dixie Highway.

The incident remains under investigation.

This is the fourth incident involving a Brightline train in Palm Beach County since last Sunday, when one person was killed after a car collided with a Brightline train in Lake Worth Beach.

Then on Wednesday, a man drove around the railroad gates and into the path of a Brightline train, leaving him hospitalized with "incapacitating injuries."
