“Jacob told the 911 operator and told us immediately that he was walking down the center of the tracks with his earbuds on. He made sure to point out that the noise cancelling function was not on.”
For an honor student, he doesnt sound that smart.
For the life of me I don’t know why anyone would walk down tracks in the first place, but with something in their ears? An accident on train tracks (unless brakes fail, etc.) is one of the most avoidable, IMHO.
