Man drives into building, later gets hit by train.

This is pretty weird.

A man drove into a restaurant in Michigan City on Thursday morning, that was hit and knocked off the tracks by an Amtrak train later that evening.
Here is a link to the story.

Carlos Cooper Jr claimed he swerved to avoid a pothole and accidentally drove into a restaurant.
Later, witnesses say he was talking on a cell phone and was struck from behind by a train.
He was flown to the hospital, and as of right now, his injuries are unknown.
