Upper Gwynedd Police are seeking public assistance in identifying a man who sustained severe injuries last weekend after being struck by a Septa train along the railroad tracks behind Wissahickon Avenue.
First responders were dispatched to the scene around 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 17 for a report of a subject severely injured after being struck by a train. The unidentified man was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in in critical condition, police said.
The victim had no identification on him, and investigative efforts have led police to believe the victim may be Mario Vargas, of Xochitepec, Guerrero, Mexico. Police have released an image of whom they believe the victim to be.
Investigators have been unable to contact the victim’s immediate family and are seeking assistance with the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Upper Gwynedd Police at 215-699-5861 or via email at [email protected]. Tips can also be submitted anonymously here.
