From The Wisconsin Rapids Tribune: A 29-year-old man is dead after his sports utility vehicle rolled down an embankment and threw him into the path of a train in western Wisconsin.
According to the Crawford County Sheriff's Department, the Bridgeport man was traveling south on Highway 35 at around 5 a.m. today when his Jeep Grand Cherokee left the road and hit a sign.
The La Crosse Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/nnBOlN ) the vehicle continued south behind the guardrail, spun around and rolled down the embankment toward the tracks. The driver was thrown and landed on the tracks where he was struck by a westbound train.

This is a sad story for the victim, his family and friends. But the odds of this all coming together all at the same time has to be astronomical. One little bounce one way, a few seconds difference or of course, keeping the Jeep on the road and wearing a seat belt all could have changed the outcome for this poor soul.

It sounds like a scene from "The Final Destination" series, doesn't it? It really does sound like "death" was going to get him no matter what.
