WALNUT, Calif. (KABC) -- An employee of Mt. San Antonio College who was struck and killed by a driver on campus, which authorities described as an apparently "intentional act," has been identified as a 63-year-old man.
Ralph Barragan worked as a tram driver for students with disabilities, a job he started in July 2007, college President Bill William T. Scroggins said in a statement.
"This a heartbreaking time for the entire campus community. A death on our campus and among our Mt. SAC family affects us all deeply. Let's pause to remember Ralph and his sincere kindness and boundless warmth," he said.
Barragan started working at the school after a 23-year career as a bus driver for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
"Ralph was highly visible on campus, gracious, popular and respected."
Barragan died on campus Thursday morning after Los Angeles County deputies arrived to find him unresponsive and suffering from trauma.
