DWI suspect's Ferarri totaled after getting stuck on railroad track
07:10 PM CDT on Thursday, April 2, 2009
SHERMAN ― Talk about a wrong turn.
More than 100 miles from where he thought he was, a man suspected of DWI narrowly escaped being hit by a train. His Ferarri didn't fare as well.
Sherman police responded to the bizarre call early Wednesday morning.
Police say around 3:30 a.m. Jeff Sabold, 48, got his 2000 Ferrari stuck on a set of railroad tracks in south Sherman.
He called 911 for help.
"I'm scared, I'm lost, I'm stranded out on a railroad track," Sabold told a 911 operator.
"I took a wrong turn somewhere, I'm so lost."
Sabold told the operator he saw a train coming and the operator told him to get out of the car. He did shortly before the train slammed into his car, totaling it.
"This is a good example of why people should not operate a vehicle while driving intoxicated. Your judgment is impaired, you not only put yourself in danger, but you put everyone who is in reach of your vehicle in danger to include trains," said Sgt. Bruce Dawsey of the Sherman Police Department.
