Jogger wearing headphones, hit, killed by Amtrak train in Frostproof
Polk County Sheriff's Office homicide detectives are conducting a death investigation after a pedestrian was struck by an Amtrak passenger train.
On Monday, March 30, the Amtrak 98 Silver Meteor train from Miami to New York, made its last stop in Sebring and was heading to its next stop in Winter Haven just after 12 p.m.
The train was traveling in the Big Sun Ray area of Frostproof just under the U.S. 27 overpass (nearest cross street: Charles Street) when the conductor saw an adult male who appeared to be jogging alongside the tracks on the outer wood cross beams. The conductor blew the train horn several times, to no avail.
