Man Dies After Being Struck By A Train

January 25, 2015

An Escambia County man has died from injuries he received Saturday when he was struck by a train while alongside railroad tracks.

Pensacola Police Department Sgt. Leon Martin said Blake Austin Doyle, 29, passed away about 9:00 Saturday night. He was walking beside train tracks right at the edge of the rail just after 5 p.m. in the 200 block of Chipley Avenue. Martin said a witness told police he was walking his dog and saw Doyle just prior to the incident.

The witness said Doyle was wearing headphones and had a camera around his neck while he was walking. Martin said the train was unable to stop, struck Doyle and threw him about 40 feet.

No charges will be filed, according to police.

    Blake was a beautiful person and an expecting father. I and so many others are heartbroken. He is deeply missed. May his light shine eternal.
