The Journal News has more on the train smashing into the car on the Harlem line last night. Apparently, an out of town driver was listening to his GPS, which instructed him to turn smack onto the train tracks. He then got stuck.

“As the car is driving over the tracks, the GPS system tells him to turn right, and he turns right onto the railroad tracks,” Metro-North spokesman Dan Brucker told reporter Nicole Neroulias. “That’s how it happened.”

Brucker then added this gem:

“He tried to stop the train by waving his arms, which apparently was not totally effective in slowing the train.”
