A teenager is dead after being hit by a train in Daytona Beach.
Giovanni Gonzalez, 17, was walking on the tracks toward the train and holding a skateboard at Wilder Boulevard Monday night.
Police said the engineer saw Gonzalez, blew the train's horn and did his best to stop the train, but it was too late.
The train hit and killed Gonzalez, police said.
According to the engineer, it appeared Gonzalez tried to get out of the way at the last minute.
"They said the kid looks like he tried to jump out of the way at the last second," said Jimmie Flynt, Daytona Beach police spokesman. "We really don't know what the kid was trying to do, whether he was playing chicken with the train or what."
Police are investigating why Gonzalez was on the tracks.
