Man Run Over by Train, Wakes Up <br /> <br />LE MARS, Iowa (AP) — A man who police say was intoxicated was unhurt after a train drove over him. <br /> <br />Shawn M. Polley, 44, of Bowling Green, Ky., was passed out between the rails of the train tracks last week, police said. <br /> <br />The train's engineer hit the emergency break and notified authorities that the northbound train may have hit a pedestrian. Two of the train's engines passed over Polley's body without hitting him, Officer Jay King said. <br /> <br />Authorities woke Polley and removed him from the tracks after the first engine was disconnected. <br /> <br />"He was sleeping, passed out, whatever you want to call it," King said. "He's just a lucky guy." <br /> <br />Polley was arrested for public intoxication and interference with official acts. <br />
