HUNTINGTON -- The mother of a 12-year-old girl clipped by a train Saturday in Wayne County said there was no alcohol in her daughter's system and she merely got her foot stuck.

Allison Chapman told her daughter's story Thursday afternoon from a family conference room at Cabell Huntington Hospital. Audrey Chapman, a student at Vinson Middle School, has spent the past week in intensive care but was scheduled to go home Thursday.

According to her daughter, Allison Chapman said she was playing ball at Corbin Park in Westmoreland when the ball went up toward the railroad tracks. Audrey Chapman and four other children -- including her 11-year-old sister -- went up to retrieve it.

"The train was already coming and her foot got stuck," her mom said. "And she was yelling for help. The last thing she remembers was seeing the train."

According to the incident report filed at the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, the conductor told deputies that the victim appeared to have difficulty walking while on the tracks, and a medical provider reported the smell of alcohol.

Allison Chapman said the blood work came back negative for the presence of alcohol. The deputy in charge of the investigation was off Thursday. A woman answering the phone at the sheriff's office said she is unsure if the official toxicology report had been sent by the hospital.

Allison Chapman said the story told by Audrey is the same one told by her 11-year-old daughter, who also said she heard Audrey yelling for help.

She said the park needs a fence and could have prevented the accident entirely.

"I'm not the only parent who would say this, but there should be a fence there," Allison Chapman said. "It would have stopped the ball and we wouldn't be here."

The train clipped Audrey Chapman's right side, breaking her leg, hip and pelvis. She also was bruised on her side and required more than a dozen staples for a head wound, her mother said. Another foot toward the tracks and it could have been a much grimmer story.

"She's my miracle," Allison Chapman said. "She has to be lucky. I just thank God she's OK.

"It blows my mind she is doing so good," she added. "The nurses and doctors have been tremendous here."
