A Johnson County sheriff’s deputy is being hailed a hero after he rushed into the path of an oncoming train to save a man’s life. On Nov. 11, 2019, Dep. Mark Davis was leaving work for the day when he noticed a car stalled on the train track right behind the sheriff’s office. The driver tried to get the car to start but got it stuck in a hole on the track.  Davis said he approached the vehicle to let the driver know a train was coming, but the driver refused to leave the car. “I looked at the driver and told him, ‘Hey man, we got to go,’ and the driver tells me no!” Davis said.  After several attempts to convince the driver to leave, Davis decided to take matters into his own hands.
