In Wayland, Michigan, it is reported that while a man was walking with two other individuals near train tracks, he sat down on the tracks and was killed by a train. The incident occurred earlier this week and left the community shocked.
The train accident led to the death of 44 year old Clifton Risner. Reports indicate that Risner had sat down on the train tracks located near 128the Avenue near 10th. Despite the fact that the train blasted its horn, witnesses say that Risner did not move.
He was hit by the northbound Grand Elks train at approximately 2:25 PM. Police pronounced him dead at 3:12 PM. Witnesses told investigators that the train tried to stop, but it was too late. The two people who were with Risner tried to administer first aid but were unsuccessful in their attempts to save Risner's life.
