Investigators have arrested a man they say was driving an SUV on some train tracks in Berea last month, when the vehicle got stuck and was eventually hit by a train.
Deputies say Dustin Allen was in an SUV with his girlfriend when the two noticed the train coming and got out of the vehicle.
“He was actually driving down the track for whatever reason,” said Lt. Michael Marcum Madison County Sheriff’s Office.

Allen, then, ran from the scene, investigators say, leaving his passenger behind.
But police in Wayne County caught Allen the day before Halloween. In addition to wanton endangerment and criminal mischief charges, deputies say Allen was driving on the tracks with a suspended license.
According to Allen’s arrest warrant, the SUV will need $5,000 in repairs. Neighbors in the area say they’re glad to hear it’s only monetary loss and not a loss of life.
LEX 18 reached out to ask Allen why he allegedly drove the car down the railroad tracks, but he didn’t want to speak with us.
