Police: train may have hit pedestrian

Chattanooga police are investigating whether a pedestrian was hit by a train near Hamill Road.

A southbound Norfolk Southern train may have hit a person, but investigators have not yet found a body, said Office Rebecca Royval, a spokeswoman for the Chattanooga Police Department.

They did find a hat and blood splatters, she said. If the person was hit, he would have been “grazed,” Officer Royval said.

A K-9 unit is helping with the search.
