A Norfolk Southern employee — identified as 46-year-old Louis Shuster of Broadview Heights — has died following an incident in Cleveland early Tuesday morning.
Cleveland police say it happened around 1:30 a.m. in the 2600 block of West 3rd Street as a dump truck was “operating in a southwesterly direction with a full load of limestone approaching a stop sign at the railroad tracks.”
After stopping, police say the truck — a Caterpillar 769C — proceeded forward and collided with the front left side of the first train car, which was operating in a southerly direction.
“The conductor was positioned outside on the front left side of the forward train car and was struck in the collision,” according to Cleveland police.
Police say Shuster was pronounced dead at the scene.
