Train Runs Over Omaha Man's Leg

An Omaha man is recovering after he was pulled from the tracks beneath a moving train in Council Bluffs late Saturday night.

Emergency crews were called to the 700 block of South 16th St. to investigate a report of a man down. When they arrived, they found 49 year old Andres Galindo  beneath the second car of a backing train. 

Galindo suffered injuries to his leg that are not considered to be life-threatening and was transported to the hospital for treatment.

As the investigation continues into the circumstances of the incident,  Council Bluffs Police Department is urging citizens to pay attention to all railroad crossings and not to attempt crossing the railroad tracks when the warning arms are down.
