Taking a nap on railroad tracks may not be the smartest way to sleep off a hangover, but a man in western Sweden who only sustained a small wound after being hit by a train might consider himself lucky.
The man was run over by a train on a stretch of railroad tracks outside of Borås early on Sunday morning. The driver of the train feared the worst and a police car was dispatched to the scene.
“They found a sleeping man on the side of the tracks with a small gash on his forehead. He had woken up when the train came, raised his head and hit it on a metal object on the train. Then he went back to sleep,” Sven Persson of the Västra Götaland police told TT.
Very very bizarre!
