She was struck about 10:45 p.m. south of the Metrolink platform in the area of Senda de la Playa and Avenida Estacion in San Clemente.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department originally said a woman in her 20s had been pronounced dead at the scene there. Witnesses saw her on the tracks before she was struck, according to sheriff's investigators who called the incident a possible suicide.
