Couldn’t one put the car in neutral and push it a few feet??

Being drunk, he probably turned onto the tracks thinking it was a road. What a moron.

Ironic, if this is the same guy

Well, apparently it is. I did a search before finishing the article.

I wonder if that was someone else’s car turned in for service.

I don’t think that has any bearing on any insurance claim. For one thing he was not behind the wheel when the accident occured. A decent lawyer will get the intoxication charges dropped if the driver didn’t talk too much after being arrested.

Only thing you missed was the pair of Dobermans.

Nicely played.

Never take a Ferrari to a train crash.

If this is a rural country road and considering the ground clearance of a Ferrari it easily conceivable that he could have gotten the car high centered on a rough railroad crossing.

He said he was stranded.

Watch the video. The crossing is plenty flat enough for even a Ferrari to go over.

Anyone want to guess at what model it was? I'm thinking maybe a 360.

Go to google maps and enter 33.5746 -96.6061 to see the precise location. It is a rural dirt road in a large industrial area.

If that were the case, he would have been asking 0bama to make his car payment for him instead of putting it on the tracks for the insurance money.

Like I said, depends on what he told the cops. No eyewitness of him driving intoxicated, only after the fact. Nothing in story about BAC, just that he was arrested for failing road side sobriety test. Yes, a good lawyer and a timid prosecutor could get charges dropped or reduced.

This man’s son committed suicide almost one year ago. There are sometimes reasons for people’s erroneous behavior. I suggest maybe wishing he achieves peace of mind in the future is an appropriate thing.
