A woman killed on Monday after being hit by a train in Napier has been named.
Police said she was Carole Lynne Boswell, 55, from Napier.
Senior Sergeant Nick Dobson said the matter had been referred to the coroner.
Ms Boswell was walking her pet dog when she was hit and killed by a freight train on Monday about 3.45pm.
Police responded soon after members of the public saw a body lying by the railway tracks, 200m south of the Marine Parade and Georges Drive intersection.
KiwiRail senior communications adviser David Miller said the crew of the south-bound freight train had been given time off in the wake of the incident.
"They will be off for several days."
He said the driver would not have been aware something had happened until the train was called to a halt by police after it crossed the Ngaruroro River rail bridge approaching Clive, 4km further down the line.
Mr Miller said the incident was now in the hands of police who would, as part of their investigations, be speaking to the driver.
