Police say a man is recovering in the hospital after walking in front of a moving freight train in Claremore late Sunday.

Lt. Doug Woodward says they still don't know if the man did this on purpose or not. He says the man walked in front of the southbound train that was traveling about 20 miles per hour at the time of impact.
