Officials say a man was seriously injured in Prince William County (web|news) on Tuesday when a rail car toppled over, trapping him underneath. Kim Hylander, a spokeswoman for the Prince William County fire department, says the open-top rail car carrying gravel tipped over and onto the man at about 11:30 a.m. Rescuers managed to get him out about 40 minutes later. Hylander says man was taken by helicopter to Inova Fairfax Hospital. A spokesman for Norfolk Southern, which owns a rail line nearby, says the train belonged to one of its customers, Chemung Contracting. The company has a plant in Gainesville near where the accident occurred. A man who answered the phone at Chemung said the company would have no comment.
