Body Found On Train, Investigation Underway
At 7:30 this morning a motorist noticed a lifeless body on the roof of the 64-car train passing by Oltorf Street. The train was en route to from San Antonio to Hearne and was stopped by police shortly after the 911 call.
Details are still coming in. A police spokesman said that they do believe the man may have jumped from the overpass onto the train, but they do not yet know the cause of death. The deceased is described as a Hispanic male, around 25 to 30 years of age, wearing black jeans, a black jacket and tennis shoes.
Expect Oltorf Street between Lamar and South First to be closed until the investigation is closed -- police believe the road may re-open by noon.
