A Ventura man was in serious but stable condition after being hit by an Amtrak train, police said Wednesday.
Silverio Romero, 66, was crossing railroad tracks in the 2000 block of Channel Drive about 7 p.m. Tuesday while on his way home, authorities said.
The Amtrak train traveling eastbound reportedly sounded its horn as it approached the man.
Romero, who uses a walker, was unable to move quickly enough to clear the tracks and was struck, according to authorities.
Romero suffered blunt trauma to his pelvic area and legs, authorities said, and was admitted to Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura.
He remained in the critical care unit Wednesday evening, said a hospital spokesperson.
