A 13-year-old boy was hit and killed by a train Sunday evening while walking along tracks near Truckee, about 20 miles west of the California-Nevada line.

KXTV in Sacramento reports California and Nevada officials found the boy’s body after responding to reports of a pedestrian incident near Interstate 80.

Anthony William Schafer of Sun Valley died at the scene. Foul play is not suspected.

The California Highway Patrol says the incident shut down eastbound lanes on I-80 for a few hours.
