Motorist drives into railroad crossing
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
HAMILTON — CSX Railroad workers are repairing a railroad crossing at the intersection of Central Avenue and Pleasant Avenue after a woman drove off with an electronic arm stuck in her windshield.
Police say the woman followed another car, attempting to drive around the railroad crossing barriers when she didn't believe there was a train coming. She drove into an electronic arm, which pierced her windshield and broke off, and she drove roughly 50 feet before stopping to wait for police.

"I've never seen that before," said a CSX worker who didn't give his name.
Police say the woman walked away with no injuries, only a ticket. It's illegal to drive around railroad crossing barriers unless told to by police.
