SEATTLE -- A man was struck and killed by a Sound Transit Link light rail train as he walked the railroad tracks in Seattle's SoDo neighborhood late Monday night.

The collision occurred just before midnight about 100 yards south of Holgate Street. Police say the man was walking in an area off limits to pedestrians.

No one on board the train was injured. All passengers were taken off the train and shuttled to the next stop via bus. Investigators say no one witnessed the crash.

Light rail service was not affected Tuesday.
