Sounds like he has a one track mind.

Laird told officers he has used a wheelchair since 1989 when a car he was driving was struck by a train near Fremont.To be filed under Slow Learners.

"He lives right near the intersection. That's his way of addressing the loud horns blowing,"
Wonder if he heard the train horn the night he managed to get T boned by one?

Sounds like he has a one track mind. Glad to see someone following my train of thought.

He only injured his arm, not his middle finger. Five gives you ten that he'll be back at it again after his arm heals.

He belongs in an institution.
To: ValerieUSA
He belongs in an institution. Nah. He just requires additional training.

Doubt there is any chance of this being railroaded through the courts.

He'll probably get railroaded for this. I'm suspect he wasn't properly trained as a child.
To: Dan from Michigan
I do understand the train whistle complaints though. I'm almost a next door neighbor of the train tracks here.

That loud noise is the sound of lawyers falling over furniture and rear ending cars in a mad dash to get in touch with this guy.

Da-ad, Leland got knocked onto his caboose again.
To: Dan from Michigan
Just like on the military planes they would stencil silhouettes of things hit (like enemy planes, tanks or whatever) so on the side of the engine that clipped him they should paint one symbol of wheelchair.

Damn! You both out-punned me by seconds. It wasn't even a "tie."
To: Dan from Michigan
But Dan ... who was there first? The tracks or homes? That's the problem. I know the whistle is loud but...The train has to go through, right? Nothing can be done. The tracks are there. Most people love the sound of a train whistle...Brings back memories of the old days when kids would watch a train and dream. Yipes...well, I bet you can set your clock by them though, huh? Reminds me of Vinny in the movie "My Cousin Vinny" when he asks about the train at the front desk of where they were staying. It's sooo funny. Well, happy trails.. :)

It wasn't even a "tie." Remember the old public service announcements against racing trains? Even in a tie, you lose! ;->
