"I think I'm cut in two" Man calls 911

CLEBURNE, Texas -- A rail yard worker who lost his legs when a train ran over him used a cell phone to report that he was trapped and had been "cut in two."

Truman Duncan remained in critical condition Wednesday at a Fort Worth, Texas, hospital after the Sunday accident at the Gunderson Southwest rail yard in Cleburne, about 50 miles southwest of Dallas.

In a tape of the 911 call, Duncan tells the operator that he was run over by a rail car.

"I need 911. CareFlite. I think I'm cut in two," Duncan said.

"Someone got run over?" the operator asks.

"It was me," Duncan responds. "I guess I'm going into shock. Hurry up, ma'am, because I'm about to pass out."

It took rescue workers about an hour to find Duncan and extricate from the tracks. One leg was caught between a steel wheel and brake and the other leg was caught on some wheel and axle parts.

Police said the 36-year-old man and a co-worker were attempting to connect railcars when the accident occurred.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the accident.

An attorney for the rail yard company said, "We have assured ourselves that he is getting the best of medical care and that he is attended by his loved ones."
