UPDATE: Sunday @3:45
ST. ALBANS, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- An elderly man died Sunday morning when he was hit by a train.
According to Lieutenant James Agee, the man is Ronald E. Hoover. He is 84-years-old and from Amandaville.
Agee says that Mr. Hoover was an Alzheimer's patient and a former rail road worker, so he was comfortable around trains.
According to a witness at the train crossing, along with the train's engineer and conductor, Hoover didn't seem to speed up or slow down while the train was blowing its horn and ringing its bell. Police did say at first it appeared he was able to clear the tracks.
Police will review the video from the CSX train as a part of their investigation.
Hoover was walking at the B Street Crossing around 10:45 a.m. Sunday when the incident happened.
If you would like to share a picture of Mr. Hoover, please send it to News@wsaz.com.
