This morning, at approximately 1:28 AM, Corsicana Police Telecommunicators received a 911 call regarding a pedestrian vs. train accident. Officers responded to Ferguson Drive &S. Hwy 287, which is the location that the engine had come to a stop.
Upon arrival, officers met with Burlington Northern Santa Fe personnel who stated that a male subject had been lying on the railroad tracks in the area of E.16th. Avenue. The BNSF Conductor stated that once the
subject was observed on the tracks, he immediately activated the air horn and the emergency brake.
Officers searched the area and discovered a deceased Hispanic Male, 62 YOA. Further investigation revealed that the deceased subject had multiple cans of gold spray paint as well as two plastic bags filled with gold spray paint. Evidence further suggests that the subject had been
engaging in “huffing” and had lost the normal use of his mental and physical faculties resulting in him laying down on the railroad tracks. Officers located several belongings, showing that he had been camping in the area near the railroad tracks.
Next of kin were notified by CPD personnel.
Corsicana Police Chief Robert Johnson stated, “We would like to offer our condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.”
