A Jackson County man was hit by a train and killed on a MARTA track Sunday night, officials said.

Transit officials are still investigating the deadly incident, which happened about 8:30 p.m. on the tracks between the Lindbergh station in Buckhead and the Arts Center station in Midtown. Officials said the man was sitting on the tracks but did not provide further details about why he was there.

He was identified by the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office as 24-year-old Eduardo Lopez of Jefferson.

A bus bridge was established between the two stations at 8:30 p.m. and was terminated at 12:30 a.m. Monday, when normal service resumed.
