A Richmond man continued sleeping between train tracks Saturday night until a conductor woke him to say he had gotten hit by a train.
“No I didn’t,” replied Josh Napier to the conductor, said Richmond Police Department Lt. Donnie Benedict, supervisor of the traffic division.
Then, Benedict said, Napier put his head back down to return to sleep.
Napier, 30, was carried by police and Richmond Fire Department personnel to an ambulance in the 1900 block of North West N Street. He was transported to Reid Health with non-life-threatening injuries after the incident about 10:45 p.m.
Benedict said personnel on the Norfolk Southern train told him Napier was asleep in the middle of the tracks when the train passed over him.

So what were the injuries? That drunk in Salisbury lost his arm when he got hit, but don't know if he knew it when he was asleep on the tracks.
