RANDOLPH COUNTY, Ind. — A man is dead after he was hit by a train in his truck in Randolph County Saturday morning.
According to the Randolph County Sheriff's Office, the crash happened around 8:10 a.m. Sept. 9 on County Road 440 East at the railroad crossing north of County Road 100 North.
Officers responded to the scene and removed 26-year-old Tristan M. Fullenkamp from his truck. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Investigators believe the truck was driving south onto the tracks after waiting for an initial train to pass. A westbound train, which likely was not seen by Fullenkamp, struck the vehicle and pushed it west for almost an entire mile.
This incident is still under investigation.
Randolph County is roughly 80 miles northeast of downtown Indianapolis.
