Two Iowa Interstate Railroad engineers told the police they spotted something between the rails just before 11 p.m. When they realized it was a person, they slammed on the emergency brake.

The engine and first car rolled over the teen before the train came to a stop.

Police said boy was taken to a hospital with cuts to the back of his head and a bruise on his thigh.

The railroad is pressing a trespass charge against the teen.
