Now that's a bad day!

Having a bad day? I can guarantee you it's not as bad as the one Robert Evans had...

(Story from http://www.propeller.com/story/2008/09/25/man-hit-by-car-then-train-6-hours-later/?icid=100214839x1210501120x1200584932)

A Boulder, CO man was hospitalized after he was hit by a train while walking his bicycle across a railroad bridge in Boulder, Colo., early Wednesday, about six hours after he was hit by a car, local station KMGH reported. Police said it was the second trip to the emergency room in six hours for the man. He is reported in stable condition.

According to police, Robert Evans, 46, was struck by a hit-and-run driver on Tuesday night around 10:00 PM, while riding his bicycle at the intersection of Folsom Street and Canyon Boulevard in Boulder. Police are looking for the driver who left the scene.

Evans was released from the hospital at 3 AM and was heading back to his camp outside town when he was hit by the train. According to authorities, he was clipped by an empty Burlington Northern Santa Fe coal train. Since Evans was crossing a bridge barred to pedestrians at the time of the accident, he is facing a possible ticket for trespassing.

Hopefully he has now learned his lesson!
