VICTIM HIT BY TRAIN IN PORTER IDENTIFIED

Montgomery County Detectives are still on the scene of a train vs bicycle fatal crash in Porter. At 7:24 am Montgomery County received a call from Harris County stating they had a train that was stopped at Aldine Bender and Old Humble Road that had struck a man and bicycle in the area of Ford Road and the tracks in Porter. DPS and Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and found the bicycle and body along the tracks between Royal Purple Drive and Ford Road.   Harris County Deputies are on the scene where the train stopped some 12-miles south.

Montgomery County Justice of the Peace Jason Dunn responded to the scene for the inquest and ordered Eickenhorst Funeral Directors to transport the victim to the Montgomery County Forensic Center for autopsy. There was no identification on the victim. Currently, the victim is listed as Robert Matlock, age 52.
