1:43Now PlayingA 20-year-old man was sleeping on railroad tracks in Ann Arbor when he got trapped underneath a freight train, and his left hand was almost amputated.
"This is a once in a career event. This isn’t anything we could train for," said Ann Arbor Fire Chief Mike Kennedy.
The man's hand was caught deep in between the wheel, axle, and part of the motor. The incident took place near North First Street and Miller Avenue at 9:37 p.m on Monday.
The freight train was moving slowly –at about 15 mph– when it struck the man, and was able to stop shortly after. However, the rescue effort was difficult due to the location and the strength of the metal.
The fire chief said he had never seen anything like it. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor.
