A man was seriously injured after getting struck by a Brightline train in Stuart on Thursday night.
Martin County Fire Rescue says the man was walking across the tracks just south of the Stuart Yacht and Country Club when the train hit him.
The high-speed rail line has been assisting authorities in urging pedestrians and drivers not to try to cross the tracks when the crossing arms are down.
Thursday night's collision came on back of one in Martin County on Monday, when a man was killed after witnesses say he stepped underneath the downed crossing arms and into the path of an oncoming train.
