POSTED: 4:38 PM PST January 16, 2004

LOS ANGELES -- A teenager playing a game of chicken on railroad tracks was struck by an Amtrak train, authorities said.

Daniel Wilkinson, 18, who is from Missouri, suffered broken bones and a ruptured liver and was in critical condition Thursday in the intensive-care unit at San Clemente's Mission Hospital, said Lt. Dave Wilson of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

Wilkinson and four friends were on the tracks about one mile south of the San Clemente Pier when Amtrak's San Diego-bound Pacific Surfliner approached at about 40 mph late Wednesday.

"He was the last to step off the track, and he was hit," Wilson said.

No passengers or crew members were injured.
