A football player from the University of Central Oklahoma, U.S., Derek Loccident (pictured above) had his left foot cut off after he reportedly attempted to crawl under a train he thought was parked.
The Oklahoman reported that Loccident, a 20-year-old defensive back, lost his foot when the train started to move.
The incident occurred early Sunday and Loccident was able to get the attention of a bystander, the report said.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital after someone at the scene recovered his foot. Loccident is said to be recovering fast.
The school’s athletic department issued a statement that it will offer its “full support” to his family.
Nick Bobeck, the team’s coach reportedly said, “The only thing that matters right j znow is that Derek knows he has our full support.”
