Authorities have called off their search for evidence of a train striking a pedestrian Friday evening on a railroad track off Highway 153, a police spokeswoman says.
“No evidence was found that a pedestrian was struck by the Norfolk Southern train last night,” Chattanooga Police spokeswoman Rebecca Royval said in an e-mailed statement.
Hamilton County S.T.A.R.S. personnel, along with Chattanooga Police, search around the railroad tracks at Hamill Road after receiving a report that a train had hit a person on the tracks.
