BUFFALO, N.Y. - A Niagara Falls man whose career as a train conductor came to a halt when a CSX freight train slammed into him in the Frontier Yard six years ago was awarded $1.65 million by a Buffalo jury, the News reports.
David Canazzi, 56, was struck when a train began moving unexpectedly, severely fracturing his right ankle about 12:30 a. m. March 2, 2004.
Doctors have told him he can no longer return to the job he had held for 27 years, said one of his lawyers.
The jury verdict before State Supreme Court Justice Timothy J. Drury was against CSX.
