Dumbest — or, The Luckiest Floridians Alive
Herode Lubin, 41, was driving in Orlando, Fla., when he was stopped at a railroad crossing. He didn’t see a train coming, so he drove around the crossing gates — and didn’t quite get all the way over the tracks before he was plowed by a train going 79 mph. Not only was he not seriously injured, but his baby’s mother, who was not wearing her seat belt, was not seriously injured either. Their 5-month-old son, however, was ejected from the car. But he landed in a soft patch of dirt, and was also not seriously injured. An amazed Florida Highway Patrol trooper handed Lubin a ticket, charging him with driving around a railroad crossing arm bar, and for not using an approved child restraint.
