A young woman is dead after a "train-hopping" incident in Pennsylvania, according to multiple reports.

PennLive.com reports Lindsey Marie Michaels, a 21-year-old college student, was hopping trains at the Norfolk Southern tracks with her boyfriend in Pittsburgh early Sunday morning. The couple fell, and Michaels was dragged under the train to her death.

Her male companion, who has not been identified, injured his ankle in the fall.

Pittsburgh Police spokeswoman Sonya Toler told the Pittsburgh Gazette that the pair was "train hopping" around 2:30 a.m. Michaels was pronounced dead at the scene.

Michaels' mother told WTAE that Michaels was a "good kid" who thought it would be fun to try and jump on a moving train. She and her boyfriend went the Pitt football game Saturday and had been drinking alcohol during the day, Michaels' mother said.

Carlow University said Sunday that Michaels was a junior at the College of Learning and Innovation, studying biology with a focus on perfusion. A memorial service is being planned on the Pittsburgh campus.

"The Carlow University community extends its deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Carlow junior Lindsey Michaels, who died last night in a tragic accident on the South Side. We mourn her loss," the school said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones."

CBS reports Norfolk Southern train crew members didn't see anyone attempting to jump onto the train, and were unaware that anyone had been injured. The train was transporting coal and traveling about 3 to 4 mph through the area and then began to pick up speed, before being stopped at 3 a.m. Sunday in Etna when authorities informed them of a possible pedestrian fatality.

"Norfolk Southern could not determine conclusively that the coal train was involved. No other Norfolk Southern trains were moving through that area at the time the incident was reported," the company said.

According to CBS, 26 people were killed and 19 others injured after being struck by trains while trespassing on tracks or railroad property in Pennsylvania last year.
