Quote from the article:
Justin Helton was pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining multiple fractures and massive blunt force injuries, Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet said. Nisbet said Helton was at the Ice House Bar & Grill on East Doty Avenue about 1:46 a.m. when he told someone he was going to “slap the train.” Witnesses told Summerville police officers that Helton had been drinking throughout the night and appeared to be in a good mood until he had an argument with an ex-girlfriend, an incident report says. The woman told police that Helton became upset and went to the oncoming train to touch it with his hand when his foot became stuck in the track in front of the train. She said it did not appear as though he jumped in front of the train, according to the report. |
