Warren Whitby General They airlifted the driver of the Avalanche to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville. I've got an article from the following day's paper about the wreck, but it never said if he lived or not. It was a strange feeling when the engineer big holed the train. I later talked with the engineer about the wreck. He said that the Avalanche had stopped, but decided at the last minute to try to beat the train. The engineer said he was already slowing down, since he could see the driver was acting impatient, so when they hit, the train was going about 20mph. 12/28/2011 8:18:32 AM
