HOMESTEAD (AP) – Police said two brothers will faces trespassing charges after one of them was grazed by a passing freight train as they crossed some railroad tracks near Pittsburgh.
Homestead police weren’t immediately identifying the men Tuesday, and didn’t immediately return a call for comment.
But police told reporters one of the men was hit in the head by the Norfolk Southern train and taken to a hospital for treatment and was expected to survive. Police said alcohol may have been involved in the incident just before 3:30 p.m. Monday.
The accident halted train traffic in the area, which jammed roads as vehicles could not cross the railroad tracks at several points in the borough a few miles east of Pittsburgh along the Monongahela River.
