Authorities say a drunk woman survived being hit by a slow-moving train after she partially fell asleep on the tracks Tuesday morning.
Authorities say they found the woman near the tracks at 4:45 a.m. near Washington Avenue on Dixie Highway.
Fire officials say the woman was hit by a slow-moving train in Lake Worth Beach. Authorities say she does not have life-threatening injuries. It is not immediately clear which rail line was involved.
Officials did not immediately release additional details.

“Partially fell asleep on the tracks”
I know what was meant, but that sure. Isn’t what ended up in the article. I guess that’s what passes as journalism these days. Sad thing is they’ll read that account all day and never see a single thing wrong.
Yeah, that's the ticket! When I drink a fifth of scotch and fall into a semi-comatose state on some train tracks, I'm not a hopeless drunk who passed out - I "fell partially asleep."
Genius!

As I learned after a long career in law enforcement- drunk people bounce.

I never though train tracks looked particularly comfortable.

I hate when I’m sleeping and a train runs over me.
Lake Worth (Florida)...
I wonder if she was out partying with Florida-man...
What is it with drunk people surviving? You read about a DWI car crash, everyone gets killed except who?
Florida Woman.
Everyone always has a great drinking story...
Now she does too.
True. Most of us can only say, “This hangover sucks. I feel like I was run over by a train”. She gets to say she actually was.
