A man was hit by a slowing moving train Thursday.

Deputies responded to a call at 11:03 p.m. Thursday at Ninth and Fenwick Streets, according to an email from Sgt. William McCarty with the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office.

The “investigation revealed that a male subject was laying between the rails of the railroad tracks when he was struck by a slow moving train. The subject, who was intoxicated, was transported to AUMC by ambulance with non life threatening injuries,” the email said.

The incident is still under investigation and no further information is available at this time.
