HAGERSTOWN, Ind. (AP) - An eastern Indiana man died Monday after being struck by a train, authorities said.
Daryl King, 61, of Centerville was filling a tractor trailer with grain in Hagerstown when he was struck by the train, Wayne County Sheriff Randy Retter said.
First responders tried to save King but he died from his injuries, Retter said.
Investigators believe King didn't hear the approaching train, possibly because noise from the tractor and other equipment on the property was too loud, the sheriff said.
