Police have confirmed that a driver was killed when his car flew off a California freeway and was hit by a train.
The driver attempted to avoid hitting another car on Sept. 8 in San Diego County, but he lost control of his vehicle, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The driver was operating a 1997 Honda when it flew off Interstate 5 and landed on the railroad tracks at San Onofre State Beach.
Approximately 15 seconds after landing on the track, the car was hit by an Amtrak train.
No one on the train was injured, according to the Associated Press. There were 285 passengers on the train.
"Train 1790, the Pacific Surfliner from San Luis Obispo to San Diego, struck a vehicle at about 9:13 p.m.," Amtrak spokeswoman Christina Leeds said. "There were no reported injuries to passengers or crew members."
The driver's identity has not been confirmed by police as of press time. He was approximately 24-years-old.
Police have not been able to identify if drugs or alcohol were played a role in the incident.
The Honda was going over 100 mph and "weaving in and out of traffic" according to California Highway Patrol.
