Man Killed After Falling on Train Tracks in Fort Worth, Texas

Early last Monday morning a man fell onto the tracks near the W. Kellis Street crossing in Fort Worth. Union Pacific crews saw him fall and tried to make an emergency stop, but could not stop in time.

Witnesses saw the man stagger before he fell onto the tracks. Even though the crew blew the horn, he was unable to get off of the tracks in time. Police suspect he might have been impaired in some way.

There is no word whether alcohol or drugs were involved, but I agree with the police assessment that this man must have been impaired in some way to fall on the tracks then be unable to get off of them before the train arrived.
