A recent tragedy occurred at the El Cerrito Del Norte station that claimed the life of an El Cerrito High School student. Sixteen-year-old Fausto Delgado died on Tuesday after being hit by a train at 5:15 in the morning. The California station closed immediately and utilized the services of a bus until reopening later in the morning.

The circumstances surrounding the death of the high school junior have not been released at this time; however, psychologists have been on the scene at the high school to offer grief counseling.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. We’re doing everything we can to make sure that the students get the help that they need, as well as the family.”
