Woman being 'silly' hit by freight train

MARYSVILLE, Calif. - A 54-year-old woman was recovering in the hospital after being hit by a Union Pacific freight train south of Marysville.

Deborah Thompson told authorities afterward that she drank a bottle of whiskey before she wandered to the railroad tracks and tried to wave the train to a stop. When asked why, she told Yuba County sheriff's deputies she was just being silly.

Instead, the train hit her and knocked her 20 to 30 yards.

Thompson suffered head injuries and a fractured thigh bone but was conscious and talking after the accident.

I hate big whiskey.

Tough old broad...

some people just shouldn't drink. She'll get a Darwin award before too long.

My mother works for a oral surgeon and she showed me pictures of a bum that walked in front of a moving train. His face looked like hamburger.

He was drunk too, btw.

No word on whether it was McCormick whiskey.

Wow, 54 year old woman drinks whiskey and fights trains. :grr:

...Locomotive Breath

and finds out who wins.....

Last week some 21 year old kid got ran over by the train about 120 feet from my house. You go back there and there is hell of flowers and stuff like that. He was turned into ground beef. THey said there was tons of him all over the place.

Trains almost always win.

wonder about her pass blocking?

and the train it won't stop going no way to slow down

"Silly" just doesn't seem like the most appropriate word to describe her actions.

That's such an middle aged lady thing to say
