Tell me again what happened. He saw something roll off the track. Do you think it was a person over? Well, at first we thought it was a plastic bag. We both discussed it, but as we came up right on him, it was a human, and he was laying between the one and two. Like I say, I don't think that we hit him, but the way that he was rolling off of the track, I don't know what happened.

Okay, so when we saw him, we observed him playing between one and two. When you said you saw something roll off the tracks, is that what you're saying? Like maybe he was on the track and he rolled off between one and two. When you're talking about the bridge, it's just a location, like he didn't fall off the bridge. I don't believe that he fell off the bridge. I think that he was probably drunk and tripped over the rail. But he's wearing all black and we thought it was a plastic bag.
