LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A man was taken to a hospital Wednesday after getting stuck between two train cars in west-central Nebraska.

Police were sent to Industrial Road in Lexington about 12:30 p.m.

They discovered that a man had been pinned between a moving train car and a stationary one, according to the Lexington Police Department.

He had severe injuries to one of his arms, so officers used a tourniquet to stop the bleeding and started lifesaving measures.

When paramedics arrived, they took the victim to Lexington Regional Hospital.

He was later flown to a hospital in Kearney.

Police said there was no derailment.

The Union Pacific Railroad is part of the investigation.
