The Morning Sun: Train grazes pedestrian 03/30/05

The Morning Sun: Train grazes pedestrian 03/30/05: "Train grazes pedestrian

CAPTION:The Pittsburg Police Department, Pittsburg Fire Department and Crawford County EMS responded to the area of 1400 S. Rouse in reference to a train striking Lisa Colebank, 23, Pittsburg, at about 2:20 p.m. Tuesday. Investigation revealed that Colebank was walking on the railroad tracks northbound from Rouse Street. A Kansas City Southern Train was also northbound entering the city limits prior to the incident. Colebank stepped off the tracks, but as the train went by it grazed her left arm. Colebank was treated for injuries and transported to Mt. Carmel Medical Center. The incident remains under investigation."

Maybe she didn't step far enough away from the tracks????

Comments:
She's lucky to be alive. Often with people who walk too close to the tracks it only hurts for a little while ... last fall, someone in Jeannette, Pennsylvania sued Norfolk Southern over injuries sustained in a train-grazing.
