Mitch Cronin Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I can see this happening... Can you hear me now? In Kansas, a man was struck and killed by a train while using his cell phone to call for help after his vehicle broke down. The train engineer spotted him standing on the tracks holding a cell phone to one ear and cupping his hand over the other to keep from being distracted by the inconsiderate noise of a train horn. With time-honored cell phone etiquette, the man remained focused on his call and became locomotive fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CabinDweller Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Can’t remember the exact statistic, but it’s in the triple digits, of drivers who break down, run out of gas or just get stuck right on the tracks at a crossing where the car gets hit (not counting racers). The unfathomable part, more than half the cars were manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
