A trolley struck and killed a pedestrian in San Ysidro, police said.
Officers were called to the trolley tracks near Beyer Boulevard and Dairy Mart Road just before 6:30 a.m. Thursday morning.
They found the victim dead at the scene.
A bystander named Jonathan Hernandez rushed to the crash site and told NBC7 he was worried that he may know the victim.
He says he knows a homeless man who sleeps near the tracks. He was very shaken that this victim died. Near the tracks were bags filled with clothing.
Hernandez said he recognized those bags.
"I saw those bags and I know who carries those bags,” says Hernandez. “He was fun you know crazy, fun crazy. Sucks to know somebody got killed this morning."
