BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - Authorities have released the name of a man who was killed by a freight train in northeastern Montana.
The Billings Gazette reports a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train that had been stopped on the tracks in Wolf Point on Wednesday apparently struck or ran over 40-year-old Curtis Birdhat when it started moving again. Company spokesman Ross Lane says the man might have been crawling around under the train when it was parked.
Birdhat died at the scene.
