Man Survived Being Hit by Car, Then Train Hours Later

By Alex in Car & Vehicle on Sep 28, 2008 at 1:20 pm


For an unlucky man, Robert Evans is incredibly lucky: the homeless man was hit by a car in a hit-and-run accident, and when he walking from a hospital to his camp for that, he was hit by a train and survived!

"He got two ambulance rides last night," MacPherson said. "It’s an extreme oddity that someone is hit by a car and a train on the same night. I can’t imagine that this has ever happened before in Boulder."

    I don't suppose it occurred to anyone he might be trying to commit suicide? It just seems a bit too coincidental and Occam's razor may apply.

    Obviously, it's Hancock.

    Or he may have just jumped in front of the car and train to get injured and ensure himself a warm bed and possibly meals (in hospital).

    Too bad he didn't get his bed/meals.

    This would only happen in Boulder. The whole city belongs somewhere in California and not in Colorado.
