Dude gets hit by a train because he was too busy text messaging
Officials think that Zachariah Smith was so engrossed in sending a text message Monday that he didn't notice a train - until it hit him as he crossed tracks in Elmwood Place.
Smith, 18, was waiting to cross the tracks. The gates were down to allow a CSX train to continue its southbound route. When that train passed, Smith, apparently too intent on texting, was hit by a northbound Norfolk Southern train that he didn't see coming from the other direction. He was thrown about 50 feet.
