It’s a horrific story that strikes at the heart of anyone with young children.
A two-year-old Gary, Indiana boy was stuck and killed by a passing train after he ran onto railroad tracks near his home as his mom tries to save him.
Reports Christin Nance Lazerus in the Post-Tribune:
A 2-year-old boy was killed when he was hit by a train next to his home on Thursday afternoon.
Ryan Watson sustained blunt force trauma, according to the Lake County Coroner’s Office.
The coroner arrived on scene shortly after 5 p.m.
Watson lived at Village Mobile Home Park, 1920 W. Ridge Road, with his mother, April, and 14-year-old brother, Ricky. A Canadian National train was heading west on the tracks that run along the north side of the mobile home park, near the intersection of Ridge Road and Cleveland Street.
