Pedestrian Hit by Train While Walking on Tracks

While walking on train tracks is never a good idea, doing so while wearing headphones is certain to end in disaster. That is exactly what happened to a young man in Pennsylvania who was struck and killed by a passenger train last week.

When officers arrived on the scene, the young man had already died. After talking with the train conductor, police learned that he had been walking with his back to the train when it hit him. The conductor attempted to warn the man to get off the tracks but was unable to stop the train in time to avoid the crash. Train service was stopped on that line while police continued their investigation.
