If humans had 9 lives, a man who lived through a morning train accident used one of his this morning.

Shortly before 8:30am a man stopped his 1987 Jeep close to the railroad tracks two miles west of Rossville and with the train charging towards him decided to jump from the Jeep sparing his life.

Officials say the train can be repaired, but the man's Jeep looks to be a goner.
