SUMMERVILLE, SC -- Authorities say alcohol was involved in a man's deadly decision to try to "slap" a passing train. 23-year old Justin Helton of Summerville was killed around 2 a.m. Thursday after being sucked under the train. Nisbet says Helton had been drinking at a bar to celebrate his birthday. At some point, Helton got into a fight and went outside. Helton boasted that he was going to slap a train that was passing by but instead he was sucked into it.

Helton was pronounced dead at the scene.


Just a friendly PSA from your friend styckx!
