You make a telephone check with the state highway patrol and the dispatcher tells you:
Had a strange one around midnight about 20 miles east of Canton. A 20-year-old short-order cook employed by Leek's Café in Freeport was going home when his car went out of control on a bridge over the tracks of Amtrak. Broke through the guardrail, sailed through the air, hit power lines, and then fell to the tracks, landing upside down. The guy was unhurt, but it took 15 minutes to get him out of the car. His name is Alan Taylor of Freeport. We booked him for reckless and drunk driving, driving without a license and speeding. A guy following him says he must have hit that bridge at 90. Had a 1986 Chevy that he'd modified.
Kind of miraculous all around. It's a wonder he wasn't electrocuted or killed in the fall. If it'd happened a few minutes before, an eastbound train might have hit him and his car.
