Although police have yet to publicly identify the victim, the Boston Globe, on its Web site late Saturday night, reported that the victim was a 55-year-old Mansfield woman, according to MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo. Pesaturo, according to the Globe, added that no determination has been made on the nature of the accident. Additional information surrounding the incident was unavailable Saturday, according to Mansfield police officials. All that remained at the accident scene Saturday was torn-down yellow police tape that was set up on both sides of the tracks as police conducted their initial investigation Friday evening. On Friday, police were first notified at 3:40 p.m. that a person had been struck by an Acela train at the Mansfield station. Mansfield police and fire personnel, along with Massachusetts Transit Police and Amtrak Police spent hours at the scene investigating the incident. The train was traveling from Boston to New York City, and ultimately Washington, D.C., when the female was struck. The body was in such a condition that police were only able to describe the victim as a white female. Witnesses, however, said the woman was in her late teens or early 20s. The investigation is being led by the Massachusetts Transit Police, who said they had yet to identify the victim Saturday evening. The accident occurred on Track 1, near the platform where riders wait for trains. It is against the law to be on the tracks and the train station has several warning signs posted.
