A Canadian man survived being run over by
a train when he passed out between railway
tracks after a drinking session.
The man, from Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, was
unhurt in the incident which happened
outside Elko, British Columbia.
He was spotted by a Canadian Pacific train
conductor who sounded the horn and hit
the emergency brakes, reports the Calgary
Herald.
But the train couldn't stop in time and rode
over the man. By the time it stopped, 26
carriages had passed over him.
"The guy seemed to wake up and he got up,
grabbed his beer and headed on his way,"
said RCMP Sgt Dave Dubnyk.
"He's of fairly slight stature and the train
went completely over top of him.
"Amazingly, I don't know how you wouldn't
wake up even being that passed out drunk,
how you wouldn't wake up from that train
rumbling over top of you with the brakes
screeching."
Canadian Pacific police are investigating but
no charges have been laid against the man.
