  MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A Mexican man who got drunk, fell asleep on railroad tracks and was run over by a train slept through the entire episode and escaped unharmed, local officials said on Friday.
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The train's driver spotted Jorge Lozano Lopez on the tracks and frantically blew the whistle but was unable to rouse him or stop the train in time. The undercarriage passed within just a few inches of his body but did not touch him.
  

  
  

  "I counted only six beers," a bewildered Lozano Lopez told local newspaper El Norte.
