Greg Plitt, a reality television show star and fitness model — and a veteran of the U.S. Army — was hit and killed by a train during filming in Southern California.
Plitt, 37, was being filmed on a track when a Metrolink train hit him, said Burbank Police Sgt. Scott Meadows, The Associated Press reported.
Police think Plitt believed the train was on an adjacent track and ignored the horn blowing.
“It’s like a blind turn” Sgt. Meadows said, AP reported. “When the train came, you might not be able to tell which set the train is on.”
It’s not clear what was being filmed. But Plitt, a West Point graduate who served five years in the Army, has been on the cover of magazines more than 200 times and appeared on Bravo’s reality show “Work Out” and “Friends to Lovers,” AP said.
