He was rushed to hospital, and underwent surgery to put a plate in his neck and repair several crushed vertebrae.
A man has been released from hospital after SURVIVING being hit by a train going at 110 miles per hour.
Amazingly, Darryl See survived after he was hit by a Chicago-bound train as he walked along the tracks in Michigan, America last week.
The train sounded its horn a number of times but Mr See, who was listening to music on his headphones, did not hear it and failed to get out of the way.
He was rushed to hospital, and underwent surgery to put a plate in his neck and repair several crushed vertebrae.
John Boyd of LaPorte County Police, said: "The conductor said it was a straight-on hit.”
“It was absolutely amazing,” he went on. “I’ve seen a number of people get hit by trains and it’s never a good thing."
Mr Boyd told police it was the first time in his career he had heard of someone surviving such an accident.
Police have estimated that the train was travelling at around 110 miles an hour when it hit See. According to reports he was thrown 20 feet from the track.
Helen Hugley, See's grandmother, said: "He's going to make it. He says he doesn't remember anything until he woke up on the other side of the tracks."
