From the trains.com newswire on Friday: <br /> <br />---Just before 10 a.m., Perry Richardson, 46, tried to drive across the tracks near his home when his van was struck by a CSX freight train traveling from Richmond, Va., to Cincinnati, Ohio. He was taken to a local hospital, but his condition was not immediately available. Sheriff Mark Smith says he believes Richardson simply made a bad judgment call - thinking he could beat the train. <br /> <br />But Smith also said the train's engineer, Michael Steven Spade, 53, of Sand Fork in Gilmer County, was arrested for refusing to give basic information such as his name and address. Spade was arraigned and released on bond. No hearing date has been set. CSX spokeswoman Jane Covington said the engineer should have cooperated, but she pointed out that it was a very stressful situation for him. Ghent is 73 miles southeast of Charleston, W.Va.--- <br /> <br />Something seems weird here to me??? Your thoughts? <br /> <br />
