DAVISON, MI - A 17-year-old hit and killed early Sunday morning by a train in Davison has been identified.
A preliminary investigation by law enforcement officials has revealed Gage Elkins was near the railroad tracks when a westbound CN train hit him as he attempted to cross the tracks near Main Street.
Officers with the Davison, Davison Township and Richfield Township police departments as well as the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office responded shortly after 4:15 a.m. May 31 for a 911 call of a personal injury accident involving a pedestrian who’d been hit by a train.
Elkins was transported to Hurley Medical Center in Flint. He was later pronounced deceased at the hospital.
Davison police Chief Don Harris said Elkins was headed home with a 15-year-old friend.
The pair had been at another friend’s home in Davison before they left.
Harris called it a “tragic, tragic accident.”
He noted it is difficult for people to judge the speed of trains, especially at night with no clear reference points.
“This was a big freight train, speeds were around 40, 45 mph,” said Harris “The train blew all its appropriate air horns at the certain locations it was supposed to.”
An obituary <https://www.allenfuneralhomeinc.com/obituary/gage-elkins> for Elkins said the teen “loved spending time with his cousins and his family.” “Gage enjoyed playing basketball with his father, best friend David, and brother Vann,” per the obituary. “He was an amazing person that will be missed by all who knew him and loved him.”

Multiple railroad crossings were closed for more than one hour to allow for the preliminary investigation.
CN Railroad Police also responded and assisted at the scene.
