The young man who was struck by a train earlier this week in Springfield has succumbed to his injuries.

Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon says 18-year-old Logan Pierceall died Thursday evening at HSHS St. John’s Hospital from the multiple, blunt force injuries he suffered when he was hit by the train Tuesday morning near Camp Butler and Laverna Roads.

Train personnel told authorities it appeared that Pierceall had been lying on or near the tracks when he was struck.

His death remains under investigation.
