Two people, including a university graduate student, narrowly escaped being hit by a train after the student allegedly drove on to train tracks on Feb. 17. The student, Jennifer L. Murphy, 23 of West­ field, Mass, was charged with DUI. Newark Police say an officer patrolling West Main Street around 1 a.m. saw a car turn off the road­ way and · onto the railroad tracks that run parallel to Elkton Road. , The officer activated his lights and siren to gain the driver's attention, but was unsuccessful, said · police spokesman Lt. Brian Henry. The officer was unable to follow the car as it straddled ·one of the rails, traveling about 100 feet down the tracks. The trai.n crossing gates started to activate and the officer heard a train horn blow and saw a train approaching the car head-on, Henry said. The officer ran toward the car and yelled for the occupants to get out. Murphy and the front passenger both exited the car seconds before the train collided with the ve­ hicle. Murphy's blood alcohol content was .220, well over the legal limit of .08, Henry said. Murphy's car suffered considerable damage to the front end, but neither she nor the passenger was injured. Neither the train nor the tracks were dam­ aged.
