Man sleeps through train hitting him

An Indiana man went back to sleep on train tracks Saturday night after he was woken up by a conductor and told he was hit by a train.

Josh Napier, who was taken to a nearby hospital, told the conductor, "no I didn't," before putting his head back down to sleep, the Indianapolis Star reported. Police said a train passed over the 30-year-old man as he slept between the tracks.

Police said Napier's injuries were not life threatening but did not provide any other information.

The single-engine train showed no damage.
