Man killed on Caltrain tracks identified

A man who was struck and killed by a Caltrain in downtown Mountain View this week has been identified as 30-year-old Jordan Koger, according to the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office.

Koger was hit by a southbound train around 7:47 p.m. on Monday evening, July 22, after trespassing on the tracks near Castro Street, Caltrain officials said.

The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office investigating the fatal collision did not immediately determine whether the act was intentional or accidental.

The coroner’s office had yet to determine a city of residence for Koger after interviewing family members.

The death was the ninth Caltrain fatality in 2019, and the second one that day. On Monday afternoon, a man was killed in a collision in Burlingame at the North lane crossing. The man was later identified as 75-year-old Burlingame resident Michael Nichols.

No passengers were injured in either of the July 22 collisions.
