Sleeping on the Tracks

We get an email once or twice a week called "The Whistle Post". Just got one a few moments ago and found this article crazy...

The Associated Press, August 2, 2015

Police: Man goes back to sleep after train runs over him

Police say an eastern Indiana man tried to return to sleep on top of railroad tracks after a conductor woke him to say he had been struck by a train.

Richmond Police Lt. Donnie Benedict says a Norfolk Southern train crew reported 30-year-old Josh Napier of Richmond was asleep on the tracks when the train passed over him Saturday night. When the conductor awoke Napier, the man put his head back down on the tracks to continue sleeping.

The Palladium-Item reports ([/url]http://pinews.co/1SxFLaF ) Napier, 30, was carried by police and firefighters to an ambulance. He was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
