A Kansas man whose trailer detached from his pickup while crossing a railroad died after he was hit by a train.

Miller tried to get back into the pickup when a Union Pacific train came around a curve, but the locomotive hit him and the vehicle, the report states. Miller was pronounced dead at the scene.

Neither the 41-year-old train engineer from Manhattan nor the 32-year-old conductor from Herington were injured.
