Man struck by train Sunday dies, identified by police as Loveland resident

Loveland police reported Wednesday that a man who was seriously injured after being struck by a train has died.

Loveland Police Department spokesman Tom Hacker said Todd Staab, 62, of Loveland was pronounced dead on Tuesday at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies.

Investigators believe Staab was sitting on the railroad tracks about 100 yards south of the 37th Street BNSF Railway crossing Sunday when he was hit by the train.

Hacker said BNSF told police that the operator of the train had blown the vehicle’s horn “multiple times” at Staab before the collision, but that Staab did not move.

First responders transported Staab to MCR, where he was treated for the injuries that Hacker said caused his death.

“We can’t draw any conclusion yet at all,” Hacker added when asked whether police knew why Staab was sitting on the tracks and did not move out of the way of the train.
