SUISUN CITY — Suisun City police said a pedestrian was hit and killed by a train Wednesday evening.

The collision with the pedestrian happened in the area of Sunset and Railroad avenues.

The Intercity Rail Map, which shows the status of Amtrak trains, shows Train 540 on the Capitol Corridor route heading from Oakland to Sacramento was stopped due to a service disruption, just east of the Suisun-Fairfield station.

Amtrak said Thursday that the collision happened around 5:50 p.m. and involved "an individual who was trespassing on the tracks."

Solano County officials have identified the individual as 46-year-old Suisun City resident Jacqueline Roofner.

A spokesperson for the Capitol Corridor service said arrangements were made for passengers of the 540 train to transfer to a different train.

Suisun City police said they would release more details when they are available.
