Man Killed by DART Train

DART police were investigating the death of a Dallas man hit by a train west of White Rock Lake.

A 56-year-old man was laying on the tracks at Fisher Road about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday when he was struck by a southbound train traveling between White Rock Station and Mockingbird Station, DART spokeswoman Claudia Garibay said.

The train operator saw the man but could not stop in time, she said. The man died at the scene.

The Dallas County medical examiner's office identified the man Thursday as James C. Pounds
