Fault

1. Just this morning a young man was hit up into the air by a train when he was walking on the railway. He couldn't hear the honk of the train because he was listening to very loud music on his mp3 player. Who do you think this fault belongs to?

- Are the sentences above ok to say?

Thank you very much, Teachers

The sentences are grammatically correct, and your meaning would be easily understood by a native speaker. But the sentences are not quite natural. "Hit up into the air" would work for a baseball.
