A tow-truck driver helping a stalled vehicle was struck and killed by a southbound Amtrak train Saturday afternoon in Encinitas in northern San Diego County, the county Sheriff's Department said.
The stalled vehicle was just west of the railroad tracks, and the tow-truck driver could not move quickly enough to avoid the train, officials said. The driver's name was not released.

A tow truck driver who had stopped to help a stranded driver was struck and killed by another vehicle.
Faapuna Manu had stopped his truck on
I-405 near Orange Ave. in Long Beach at about 2 a.m. Sunday, the
California Highway Patrol said in its report on the collision.
He was standing next to his truck inflating a spare tire for the people inside a disabled 2005 Mercedes-Benz when he was hit.
Raymond Burley, the driver of the
2005 Toyota that police say hit Manu, was hospitalized with moderate
injuries, according to the report.
Burley, 26, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the report said.
