A man has been killed after being struck by a train in
Palmerston North early this morning.
Police are still working to identify the man, who is believed
to be in his 40s.
Police said it was unclear if he had been walking on the
tracks or fallen from an over bridge.
He was hit by a north-bound freight train on the tracks
directly below the Gillespies Line over bridge just after
3am.
Police said they were "following lines of inquiry and hope to
be able to release details later today".
