A Charlestown man is recovering from injuries he received when he drove his van into the path of a train in Clark County. William Forrester is listed in fair condition at University of Louisville Hospital. Police say heavy fog Sunday morning may have been the reason he didn't see the train. Witnesses say the van was mangled when it flew in the air, landed on top the train then fell to the ground. Forrester was trapped in the vehicle for nearly two hours.
Police say there is no warning gate at the crossing where the accident occurred.
Drivers in the area say they're worried about how high prices will go. We could indeed be looking at some very high gas prices. Still to blame for the increase, crude oil production is still behind demand, and the coming winter months are expected to put an even greater demand on existing supplies. And AAA says the looming increase won't keep people home this Labor Day weekend. It expects a record 35 million people to drive to their holiday locations.
