Man Pinned in Truck Between Two Trains in Dallas

Officials with Union Pacific Railroad say a drunken driver crashed into a parked train early Friday morning before being hit and dragged by another.

According to Union Pacific, the intoxicated driver hit a parked train and either lost consciousness or fell asleep. An inbound train then collided with driver's pickup truck, dragging it about 120 feet to an area near Westmoreland Road and Singleton Boulevard.

Dallas Fire-Rescue removed the trapped man from the vehicle and presumably transported him to an area hospital.  His current condition is not yet known.

No other injuries were reported.

The incident remains under investigation.
