A 36-year-old woman died Monday morning when she was struck by a freight train in south Fort Worth, authorities said.

Annason Phothisarath appeared to try to jump between train cars and fell under the train, witnesses told police. Her name and age were released by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office, which has not made a determination on the cause or manner of death.

A 911 caller reporting the matter said the woman was walking up the train and walked into it when she was struck about 7 a.m. in the 500 block of West Bolt Street, according to a Fort Worth police record.

Phothisarath was struck on the tracks outside of Trinity Basin School, a charter school.
