Crash

A young man died today.  He was driving a pickup truck and was unable to stop as he approached the train tracks.  He slid on ice into the path of an on coming train, the train which was not traveling at high speed, hit the passenger side of the truck.  The truck spun, rolled and came to rest in the ditch.  He was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected  and pinned.  This young man died at 18 years old.  He is from Austin, MN.

The picture of this particular train has nothing to do with the train accident this morning, but it did give me pause and got me thinking of the young man that died.  His name is Joe Lewison.
