BONNERS FERRY, Idaho -- Officials say a northern Idaho man died Wednesday after jumping from a moving freight train on which he had illegally hitched a ride.
Boundary County Sheriff's officials say the body of 25-year-old Dustin Dodge was found alongside the railroad tracks south of Bonners Ferry after being spotted by railroad workers.
Officials tell the Bonner County Daily Bee that Dodge and another man got on the train in Naples but it kept going at where they wanted to get off.
Officials say the train was going about 40 or 45 mph when the two men jumped, and that Dodge died at the scene due to injuries sustained when he hit the ground.
Officials say they located the other man at a home with injuries that weren't life-threatening. He did not seek medical treatment and officials say no criminal charges are planned.
