One person has died after three people were struck by a train in Norwalk Wednesday night.
The incident happened around 8:15 p.m. in the area behind 353 Main Ave., according to the Norwalk Fire Department.
When emergency crews arrived, two males were being escorted off the tracks by police. Officials said both were conscious and alert.

Crews located the victim underneath a rail car between two tracks on a bridge over a river, where access was limited and rescuers faced significant safety hazards.

The rescue took about 15 minutes.
The victim was rushed to Norwalk Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
His identity has not been released.
