Authorities Investigate Train Death In Hudson

HUDSON, Colo. (AP) - Authorities are trying to determine why a man lying on the tracks sat up and was hit by a train.

The death occurred Sunday in Hudson. The conductor was blowing his horn and yelling out the window. The man then sat up and the train struck him in the head.

Weld County sheriff's spokesman Margie Martinez told the Greeley Tribune no other information would be released because next of kin hadn't been notified.
