The man killed earlier today when he was run over by an AmTrak train in downtown Birmingham has been identified as 40-year-old Randall Sandford.

He was pronounced dead at 12:16 p.m., said Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Pat Curry. Investigators said it appears the man was trying to climb through the train -- between the last two cars -- while the train was stopped to switch tracks in the 2100 block of Morris Avenue.


He was crushed when the train started moving again. The man was taken to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities said he is believed to be an employee at UAB.
