THE DALLES, Ore. (AP) -- A woman fatally struck by a train in Wasco County has been identified at Kathryn Robertson, the daughter of Oregon Health & Science University President Dr. Joseph Robertson.
The Dalles Chronicle newspaper reports the 25-year-old was hit late Sunday afternoon at a crossing in the community of Rowena. OHSU spokesman Jim Newman confirmed the fatality Monday.
A Wasco County sheriff's spokesman said Robertson was on foot when she was hit, but declined to provide additional details. Railroad officials are also participating in the investigation.
