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.

Since Evans was crossing a bridge barred to pedestrians at the time of the accident, he is facing a possible ticket for trespassing.

Wonder who is paying for the trips to the hospital?

Just before Christmas I dislocate my knee.

Then at Easter I get knocked over.

Then 2 years later I have problems with my teeth.

Then a month later I have a throat swelling incident.

Then a week later I have another throat incident.

Then the beginning of this year I do my knee in again.

 

So I'm an accident waiting to happen, too!
