MANILA, Philippines – A man was killed after being hit by a train in Sampaloc, Manila on Monday morning, Inquirer Radio 990AM said.

The report said the man, identified as Jordan de Jesus, was walking along the railway when he was hit by a northbound train of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) on its way to Tutuban.

Witnesses said De Jesus did not notice the train behind him since he had just avoided another train moving southbound.

The man was dragged at least 200 meters from where he was standing, causing his head to be severed from his body.
