Baltimore County police say a 45-year-old Baltimore man was hit by a train and killed as he sat on a lawnchair on the tracks.

It happened around 8 p.m. Saturday near Martin Boulevard in Rosedale.

Police say the man was visiting his brother, who is homeless and hangs out at a camping spot near the train tracks.

They say the conductor spotted the man sitting on a lawnchair on the tracks and said he did not appear to realize a train was coming.

Police are calling the incident an accident.
