He was
high alright:
Authorities say alcohol was involved in a man's deadly decision to try to "slap" a passing train.
No kidding.
23-year old Justin Helton of Summerville was killed around 2 a.m. Thursday after being sucked under the train.
Nisbet says Helton had been drinking at a bar to celebrate his birthday.
At some point, Helton got into a fight and went outside.
Helton boasted that he was going to slap a train that was passing by but instead he was sucked into it.
Helton was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say the train conductor did not know about Helton's death and had to be stopped farther down the tracks for the investigation.
I've stood close enough to moving trains to know you don't want to be close enough to slap one.
