RIPLEY, NY-- A Ripley man is recovering after he was hit by a train in Chautauqua County Tuesday night.
Sheriff's Deputies say 23-year old Timothy Luke Jr. was trying to cross the tracks at South State Street last night in Ripley when a Norfolk-Southern train hit him and sent him flying.
Amazingly, he suffered only a broken leg.
A witness told deputies that the crossing gates were working normally when the accident happened.
