Case History

The victim was struck by a train near Tigard, Oregon on the evening of October 7th, 2001. All attempts to identify the victim have been unsuccessful. He is believed to be a transient passing through Tigard on his way somewhere else.
His blood alcohol content was .22, almost three times the legal limit for driving.
According to the medical examiner report, the conductor and engineer operating the train saw a figure lying in the tracks around 9 p.m. on October 7 as they neared a wooden trestle between North Dakota Street and Tiedeman Avenue in Tigard. When they sounded the horn, the figure tried to get up, but fell back down on the tracks.
The train hit the man running at 20 to 30 miles per hour, breaking his legs, lacerating his abdomen, amputating his right arm, breaking his jaw and fracturing and lacerating his face.
