According to emergency services radio traffic late Wednesday, the man was struck by a Norfolk Southern train on the tracks at Military Avenue shortly after 11 p.m.
An emergency medical technician treating the man said he’d suffered “multi-system trauma,” or multiple injuries, and was breathing abnormally, but did not specify the nature of the injuries.
Emergency responders called a helicopter to transport the man to a hospital. The helicopter was to land at the W.G. “Bill” Hefner VA Medical Center.
Medical responders moved the man from the area of the railroad tracks around 11:50 p.m., loading him into an off-road vehicle for transport to a waiting ambulance. They performed CPR on the way to the helicopter.
The train that struck the man stopped and authorities contacted Norfolk Southern to stop other rail traffic from entering the area.
