Just before 7 p.m. Sunday calls started coming into the the Montgomery County 911 Center. Reports said the eastbound train hit a Volkswagen and was pushing it down the tracks. Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, MCHD and Cut and Shoot Fire Department responded to the scene. They found the train stopped at South Duck Creek and Old Highway 105 East. Crushed against the front of it was a silver Volkswagen.
The train conductors said they saw it on the tracks and knew they couldn’t stop. They did witness 4 males jump out at the Nebraska Street Crossing, a private drive. One conductor said he prayed when they hit it and pushed it for over three-fourths of a mile that nobody was still in it.
The train which had been eastbound was pulling 120 cars at a total weight of 17000 tons and was almost 7000 feet long.
Residents who lived south of the crossing where they hit were not able to leave there homes as the train had it blocked for over 3 hours as the crash was investigated.
The driver of the vehicle identified as a 17-year-old from Splendora who not only didn’t have permission to use his parents vehicle but no Texas drivers license.
There were no injuries.
Texas Towing and Recovery spent almost one hour attempting to free the vehicle from the train and remove it from the tracks as the engine had completely fallen out from under it.
Such verbal insubordination I suffer by coming here but it won’t be the first time I’ve been bullied. Back when I rode that incredibly short yellow bus to school I found solace from my tormentors by singing this tune in my head…
Nobody loves me.
Everybody hates me.
I think I’ll eat some worms.
That’s close Jamie…Actually LD’s love of himself is the root of all evil…Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Yup, athiests point to 1 Timothy 6:10 as proof God makes mistakes when he inspired that For the love of money is at the root of all kinds of evil. passage. My faith assures me it was simply a typo He made when using His iPad.
So… what was it supposed to be? Love of Monkeys? Love of Honey? Help me out here… Or did the previous poster have the right idea?
I have to say LocalDrifter is hilarious.
That’ll buff right out.
Uh-oh, better get Maaco.
One more keen observation from LD…
They did witness 4 males jump out…
I bet those first running strides were reeeeel slippery, smelly, and didn’t need a pure bred bloodhound to track.
4… 3… 2… 1…
Here come the comments from family members stating the train had no right driving the wrong side of the rails, a crossing schedule wasn’t posted, the straight and level track had too many curves, it should have been painted a different color making it easier to see at night, or the engineer is a racist homophobe hating the 4 lads hatching extra cirricular romance in their little silver love nest in the woods. EVERYTHING under the sun except admitting the jerkweed stole their car, drove it without authority or a license, and got it smooshed by a train.
(Oh, they’ll also explain in poor grammar and slaughtered spelling how it was somehow all Drifters doings and fault.)
I think it’s already been stated, LD is the root of all evil…
SO SAD :(
