Delaware State Police say the accident happened Thursday night shortly after 8 o'clock when a 45-year-old Scott Hall of Lewes failed to stop at the tracks on Park Avenue east of South Bedford Street.



Although the flashing red signals were activated, Hall did not stop in time, crashing into the wheels of one of the train cars.



The vehicle spun around, sheared off a telephone pole and came to a stop.



The locomotive and 79 cars came to a stop with no derailment.



Hall was not hurt and troopers say he was buckled up, although charges against him are pending.
