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. "

"BOISE, Idaho - A three car crash Wednesday morning was caused by a 70-year-old woman who was apparently trying to kill herself by driving into oncoming traffic, the Ada County, Idaho, Sheriff's Office says.

The crash occurred around 10:30 a.m. near the intersection of State Street and Bogart Lane.

The sheriff's office says the woman from Eagle, Idaho, was driving a Buick LaCrosse eastbound on State State when she swerved into oncoming traffic and attempted to hit an oncoming vehicle. The two cars missed each other and the Buick returned to the proper lane.

But as the woman approached Bogart Lane, she again swerved into oncoming traffic and collided with a Ford F-250 pickup truck, causing it to roll.

The 64-year-old driver of the truck was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle. He is currently in the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Doctor's say he is expected to survive, but he remains in critical condition.

The sheriff's office says after the Buick hit the Ford truck, it then also struck the Dodge pickup truck that was driving behind the Ford. The 16-year-old driver of the Dodge was treated for minor injuries at the hospital and released.

Officials say the 70-year-old driver of the Buick was also taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Investigators say she told them she intentionally drove into oncoming traffic to attempt to kill herself.

The sheriff's office says that charges are pending against the 70-year-old woman, and that after its investigation it will forward that information to the prosecutor's office.

The woman's name is being withheld until charges have been filed."
