New Jersey Police Rescue Impaired Driver Seconds Before Train Hits Car

Two Piscataway police officers, Devin Hinchcliffe and John Ward, heroically rescued an impaired driver whose car was stuck on train tracks in New Jersey just seconds before a freight train struck the vehicle. The incident occurred shortly after midnight on May 12, when the officers responded to a 911 call and found the driver unable to exit the car due to impairment. Dashcam footage shows the officers pulling the man from the car as the train's horn blared and crossing gates descended, narrowly preventing a tragedy. The police department commended the officers for their quick and effective response, which saved the driver's life. The driver was subsequently charged with driving while intoxicated. Authorities have not yet disclosed further details regarding additional charges or the driver's identity.
