WASHINGTON, September 25 (RIA Novosti) - A homeless man from the U.S. city of Boulder, Colorado survived being hit by a car and train in the space of seven hours, the local KMGH TV channel said on Thursday.

Robert Evans, 46, was hospitalized late on Wednesday with minor injures after being run over by a hit-and-run driver, but was discharged from hospital five hours later. An hour and a half later police found the man and his bicycle under a railway bridge - he had been hit by a freight train and fallen 10 feet into a creek below.

His injuries from his second encounter with a moving force were reported as "slight."

In an addition to his accidents, Evans now faces a fine for crossing railway tracks in an inappropriate place.
