Driver killed in train-pickup crash
ELMWOOD PLACE, Ohio -- A 75-year-old motorist apparently trying to get across a railroad track ahead of a train Wednesday (Nov. 15) spun his tires on the slick roads and was struck by the locomotive and killed.

The driver was identified as Donald E. Senteney, of Spruce Avenue, in Elmwood Place.

He died shortly after midnight at University Hospital, according to Elmwood Police Sgt. Randy Picadio.

Picadio said the accident occurred about 9:14 p.m. Wednesday. Senteney was was driving west on Linden Street when his vehicle was struck at the rail crossing at Linden Street and Elmwood Avenue.

There is no gate at the crossing, but lights were working, Picadio said. Workers with CSX in Jacksonville, Fla., said the train was one of theirs but said it was being operated on a Norfolk Southern line.
