WINGDALE, N.Y. — Authorities say they’re investigating the death of a 23-year-old man who was struck by a Metro-North commuter train in upstate Dutchess County.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials tell the Poughkeepsie Journal that the man from Pawling was struck by a southbound train around 4:45 p.m. Monday along a wooded stretch of tracks just south of the Harlem Valley-Windale station.

MTA police haven’t released the man’s name.

Train service was shut down Monday evening at the Pawling station, where shuttle buses transported passengers to points north until around 7:50 p.m., when service was restored.

Officials say the train that struck the man was stopped on the tracks for about three hours while emergency crews worked to clear the accident.
