Written by City News Service - An alleged drunken driver crashed his BMW convertible
at a railroad crossing east of Los Angeles today, and a passenger was hurt
when a train came along and totaled the car.
   A Montebello police sergeant said the driver was arrested for suspicion
of drunken driving, and the passenger suffered a broken arm.
   Around 3:46 a.m., the car was involved in some sort of single-vehicle
crash and broke down on train tracks next to the intersection of Montebello and
Olympic boulevards. A Union Pacific freight train then hit the disabled BMW,
said Sgt. Jennifer Garcia of the Montebello Police Department.
   The BMW driver and a second passenger were not injured, she said. All
three men in the BMW are about the same age, she added.
   The car appeared to be totaled and was impounded, Garcia said.
   A Union Pacific spokesman, Aaron Hunt, said ``it typically takes our
trains more than a mile to stop, and in this case the train was unable to stop
before hitting the vehicle.''  LOUDLABS NEWS
