(KAIR)--An elderly Missouri man escaped life-threatening injuries, despite his car being struck by a train early Thursday morning in Atchison County.
According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, the car, driven by 75-year-old Eugene Kane, of Hazelwood, Missouri, was struck by the Union Pacific train at the railroad crossing located on 286th Road, west of McPherson Road, around 5:10 Thursday morning.
The release says investigators believe Kane had accidentally stopped his car on the railroad tracks, where the vehicle was stopped when the train rolled through and struck it.
Kane, the release says, was transported to Amberwell Atchison for the treatment of non life-threatening injuries.
