The man struck by a train in Levin on Friday night has this morning woken up and has nodded 'yes' to his name being Alan.
He is unable to speak at this stage but is nodding 'yes' and 'no' to questions so Police are hopeful they will soon know who he is and will be able to assist in locating any family he has.
Media enquiries should be referred to Communications Manager Kim Perks on 06 351 2546 or 027 234 8256.
