Here is the text of a brief article listed on KTVZ.com
A 25-year-old Bend woman was struck and injured by a train early Saturday at a northeast Bend railroad crossing, police said.
Bend police and fire medics responded around 12:50 a.m. to the report of someone struck by a train at the Northeast Olney Avenue railroad crossing, said Sgt. Tom Pine.
The woman was taken to St. Charles Medical Center-Bend by ambulance for treatment of her injuries, Pine said, adding that her identity and other information were not being released at this time.
I don't like to speculate about incidents like this. But I am willing to bet that the horrible condition of the sidewalk at this crossing did not help her cross the tracks safely.
It will be interesting to see if the media actually covers this story, or if this is the only mention of it.

I love to speculate about incidents like this. I'm speculating that at 12:50a.m., she was fucking drunk. How's that for speculation, sport. I'm speculating her problems have more to do with the D&D than they do the sidewalks. Just a guess.
I totally agree with 'the natives'. I polled 15 people I know and 14 of us have never crossed a train track at 12:50 in the morning unless we were drinking.
The other 1 was sober and said he sure as hell could have gotten out of the way of an approaching train.
Although that was very thoughtful of you to pretend like drunkeness wasn't a likely possibility :)
