Darwin shoots... HE SCORES !

HARRISON, N.Y. - Police say a man riding outside a moving car on a suburban New York highway was thrown onto the roadside and died.

Witnesses saw Maxwell Grullon, 28, of Yonkers, thrown from the white Jeep in a northbound lane of Interstate 95 Saturday night in Harrison. Police say Grullon was seen riding on the outside of the car, standing on the running boards of the car. The Jeep switched from the left to right lanes before Grullon fell off onto the right shoulder at about 10:30 p.m.

Police say the Jeep stopped for a short time and then kept driving. Police later located the driver, but hadn't filed charges. An autopsy was planned for Grullon.

Traffic was backed up for hours and spectators gathered along a nearby overpass while police investigated the scene.

Darwin direct hit.

(KTVI - myFOXstl.com)

A teenager was killed by a train in O’Fallon, Illinois Sunday afternoon.

The accident happened along the tracks at East 4th and Lincoln.

People at the scene say the teen may have been attempting to race the train by skateboarding across the tracks.

The 13 year old, identified by police as Jonathan Sory of Lebanon, Illinois, was pronounced dead on the scene. He died from head and chest injuries.

A spokesperson from CSX Transportation says the company regrets the accident happened and released the following statement:

"It's tragic. Our conductors and engineers do everything to avoid these types of incidents, but often feel powerless because it takes them a mile to a mile and a half to come to a complete stop."
