HTN: Teen Hit by Train Dies

The autistic teen hit by a train in the City of Tonawanda last week has died. The family of 15-year-old Anthony Fracassi of Buffalo removed him from life support on Friday. The teen was participating in a baseball game for challenged youth last Tuesday near Main Street and Fuller Avenue. At some point Fracassi wandered away from the game and up onto the train tracks. He suffered multiple injuries after being hit by the CSX freight train. The investigation is closed and no charges will be filed.
