Man hit by train suffered from seizures

A Fairfield pedestrian was stuck and killed Friday by a train.

Roberto Bautista Morales, 39, was hit around 5:50 p.m. in the area of Railroad Avenue and Village Drive. Police said a medical condition could have contributed to the incident.

"Preliminary information received indicates that the victim suffers from undiagnosed seizures and may have suffered an attack when crossing the railroad tracks," according to a police statement.
Witnesses told police they saw Morales lying on the tracks just before he was struck by the train. Medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
