Eddie Maldonado took a wrong turn in his Honda Accord around 9 PM on Monday night and ended up stuck on the railroad tracks at Grand Ave. in the Village just before a train was approaching, according to a story in the North County Times.
Shortly after 9 p.m., a Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight train hit a Honda Civic stuck on the tracks at Grand Avenue, said Cpl. Mark Cook of the sheriff’s rail enforcement team. . . .Carlsbad police officials identified the driver as Eddie Maldonado. They did not have his age or city of residence available.
Maldonado was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving and if that (coupled with having his car hit by a train) wasn’t enough he was also charged with trespassing for driving onto the tracks. The wreck kept both Grand Ave. and Carlsbad Village Drive closed for nearly two hours.
