It happened up to an hour prior to the wreck being located in the 2000 block of Troost- near Hospital Hill just around 6:35 a.m..
A prior call had went out shortly before 6 p.m. to fire- EMS and police of a "car on the railroad tracks" near "Pershing and Main."
No crash was located there- but police kept investigating and at 6:35 a.m. after talking to some railroad personnel- had located a crashed car that apparently had "come off of Troost onto the" railroad below.
At least one male victim was with that vehicle and had to be extricated by the FD- and lifted to the street about 40-50 feet above while C.P.R. was being performed on him.
Sources say that victim died at a nearby hospital shortly after arriving by ambulance there after 7 a.m..
So far- no "official" report of this crash is available.

So sad! A dad of 2 on his way to Christmas day.
I would suggest that the chain link fence that was in this spot be replaced with something made of sterner stuff.
