 The momentum of the train caused his body to strike against the car and losing his hold he fell to the ground, striking on the back of his head and back Mir Wildman attempted to roll away from the track rails. James Cox and Edward Heineman, who were standing on the depot platform, rushed to his rescue and succeeded in dragging him away from the rails so that his legs should not be run over.
