WASHINGTON — A 16-year-old boy is dead after he was struck by an Amtrak train in Boyds, Maryland, Monday evening.

Montgomery County police say the 16-year-old was walking on the tracks with two other teens when he was hit at about 5:15 p.m.

Police have identified the teen as John Martin DeReggi Jr., of Boyds.

Several other people who weren’t on the train were evaluated on the scene and taken to a nearby hospital. They are all expected to be OK, police say.
