Train runs over woman's foot
From Staff Reports
A Rocky Mount woman is recovering after having her foot run over by a train Friday night.
Authorities said a 45-year-old woman was walking on the train tracks around 9 p.m. when a train approached near the 100 block of East Bassett Street. She reportedly was unable to avoid getting her foot run over. The incident did not stop the train, but the woman was transported to the hospital for treatment of the partial amputation.
It is unclear why she was trespassing on the train tracks or why she was unable to get clear of the passing train.
