Man Wearing Headphones Hit By Train In Frankfort

FRANKFORT, Ind. — A man was hit by a train in Frankfort.

Police say Christian Lindenmayer had to be taken to an Indianapolis hospital after he was hit by a train Monday afternoon. Police were called and arrived to find two people who had pulled Lindenmayer out from under the train and used makeshift tourniquets to curtail his bleeding.

He’s now critical at the hospital.

Investigators say Lindenmayer was walking across the railroad tracks wearing headphones and a hooded sweatshirt as he crossed and was unable to see or hear the train coming.

The stalled train resulted in a “near complete shutdown of the city,” the release said, and additional officers and the Frankfort Street Department helped traffic on both sides of the tracks to navigate the Clinton County city
