WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Suburban Detroit authorities say a 45-year-old man may have been listening to a portable music player when a train struck and killed him as he walked toward it.

Police in Oakland County's Waterford Township say the accident happened about 3 p.m. Wednesday. The site is about 25 miles northwest of Detroit.

Police Chief Daniel McCaw says township resident Kevin Bickford was walking east on the tracks and apparently didn't notice the oncoming westbound train, which blew its horn.
