News summary

A 20-year-old man in Ann Arbor miraculously survived being run over by a slow-moving freight train while sleeping on the railroad tracks between Huron and Miller. His left hand was severely injured and pinned between the wheel, axle, and motor of the locomotive, leading to a complex and challenging rescue operation. Emergency responders, including a University of Michigan surgical team, were initially prepared for a potential field amputation. However, after nearly two hours of effort, they managed to free his hand using a hydraulic ram without requiring amputation. The man was taken to the University of Michigan Health in stable condition. Authorities believe alcohol may have been a factor in the incident, which they described as a 'once in a career' event due to its unusual circumstances and the fortunate outcome.
