Central Oklahoma sophomore safety Derek Loccident, 20, is hospitalized after losing his foot in a train accident Sunday morning.

Officer Megan L. Morgan, an assistant public information officer for the Oklahoma City Police Department, said officers responded to a report of a train accident at SW 4th and E.K. Gaylord Blvd at 3 a.m.

She said officers learned that a pedestrian was crossing the train tracks and crawled under a stopped train.

“The train began moving and amputated the victim’s left foot,” Morgan told USA TODAY Sports via email. “(He) was able to make it several hundred yards where he flagged down a citizen. (The victim) was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.”

Morgan said the foot was located and taken to the hospital. She said it was unknown at this time who found the victim’s foot.

Central Oklahoma (0-2) didn’t play Saturday because it played on Thursday this week and lost to Nebraska-Kearney 31-27. Loccident, an Oklahoma City native, led Central Oklahoma with nine tackles in that game, and has a team-leading 10 solo stops this season.

"The only thing that matters right now is that Derek knows he has our full support," head football coach Nick Bobeck said in a statement released by the school. "We are here for him. It's important for his family to know that too. This isn't about him being a football player right now, it's about him being a young man that we are here for."

The school's only other statement was to encourage students to reach out to the Center for Counseling and Well-Being in the Nigh University Center if they need assistance.
