Girl killed by Metrolink train.

A commuter train struck and killed a girl this afternoon at Magnolia Avenue and Buchanan Street in Riverside, closing down a main commuter rail line during the afternoon rush hour.
Witnesses told police that she waited for a freight train to pass and then proceeded across the tracks about 3:45 p.m., stepping in the way of the westbound Metrolink train on a parallel track.
No one on the Metrolink train was hurt, and the roughly 45 passengers were to be bused to their destinations in Orange County, Metrolink's Sherita Coffelt said.
