Light rail vs. pedestrian accident reported in downtown Denver

"He was carrying a bag of clothing or something. He raised his arms. He was trying to push a button on the train, got caught on something and he fell under the train," Mitchell said. "I quickly turned away so I wouldn't see it. It sounded like he was crushed. I thought he was cut in half."
A man got his coat caught on the side of a light-rail train at the 16th Street Mall and California Street and was dragged into a concrete pillar in the 3:10 p.m. accident. The man was trying to get the door open so he could board the train. He fell under the train and was dragged several feet until he crashed into the concrete barrier. The man was conscious as he was loaded into an ambulance.
