"(HILLSBORO, Oregon) - Today, at about 12:30 a.m., 19-year-old Stephanie Curtiss of Rock Creek was driving west on NW West Union Road, just west of NW Cornelius Pass Road. She lost control of the car as she entered a curve with a suggested speed (yellow speed sign) of 35 m.p.h.

The car then entered the adjacent yard at 20160 NW West Union Road, sheering off two trees and uprooting a third before crashing into the porch. The car then started to roll, striking a parked car in the driveway before hitting a garage door and coming to rest in its roof.

Ms. Curtiss and two adult male passengers were all wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash. They were all able to climb from the wrecked car on their own. All three were transported to St. Vincent’s Hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was injured during this crash.

Alcohol or drug use do not appear to be factors. The homeowners estimated the combined damage at over $10,000."

Driver to be cited after train collides with minivan in Bridgeton.

Date: 04/01/2011
Time: Morning
Location: Bridgeton, New Jersey
Vehicle(s) Involved: Train, Dodge Caravan

By Stephen Smith - The News of Cumberland County

"BRIDGETON — A Winchester & Western train smashed the front-end of a fully-packed minivan Friday morning at Route 49 and Buckshutem Road.

While no injuries were reported, police said the accident could have been much worse.
It appeared as if the driver of the minivan was either distracted or was attempting to beat the train across the tracks, said Bridgeton police Lt. James Battavio.

A post accident check of the train showed that all lights, bells and whistles had been working, and statements from witnesses to the police suggested that the train actually blew its horn at the van as it was traveling south on the tracks that run by the intersection of Broad Street (Route 49) and Buckshutem Road.

Battavio said it appeared the van had stopped just short of the tracks and the train then clipped its front end. He said if the van had not stopped where it did the outcome could have been much worse.

Five people were in the van when it crashed, and they were all taken to area hospitals, though police could not release any names or to which hospitals they were taken Friday.
Battavio said the driver will be receiving traffic citations. "
