Woman hit by train dies on her birthday
Hamner's family believes she had an epileptic seizure on Friday, Dec. 5 when she was hit by the train.
Sometime in the evening, a woman was on the train tracks when an approaching train blew its horn several times to try to get her to move out of the way. Unfortunately, the woman didn't react in time, was struck by the train, and critically injured. She is now recovering at Regional One. We will update this accident as more information is released.
