Authorities said Tuesday afternoon that they still haven't IDed the man who was struck and killed by a Metra train this week. A Metra spokesman said a report indicates the death may have been accidental.
Area authorities are still looking for answers in the case of a John Doe who happened upon a local set of train tracks Monday and was hit and killed by an oncoming Metra.

Metra Spokeswoman Meg Reile said the pedestrian didn't have any forms of identification on him at the time of the crash, which was 12:10 a.m. Monday. He was struck in the 6700 block of South Street in Tinley Park, as the train approached the Oak Park Avenue station. An investigator from a nearby city was headed to the medical examiner's office around 1:30 p.m. to follow up on a missing person case, a …
