1 Dead, 4 Hurt in Amtrak, Car Collision

PALMYRA, N.Y. (AP) -- An Amtrak passenger train plowed into
a car that had been parked on the tracks with its lights
off, killing the motorist and injuring four train
passengers.

Frank Mamroe, 31, drove onto the tracks Tuesday night a
short time before he was killed by a train traveling about
75 mph through western New York, Wayne County sheriff's Lt.
Richard Tack said. The circumstances of the crash remained
under investigation, but he said Mamroe's death appeared to
be a suicide.

``The driver was just sitting there waiting for the train
to come,'' Tack said.

Mamroe, who lived in nearby Port Gibson, was indicted in
Rochester two weeks ago on third-degree rape and sodomy
charges for an attack in June on a girl under age 17,
prosecutor Doug Randall said. Tack said Mamroe had called
friends to say he ``wasn't going to jail.''

Four of the passengers on the 20-car train, which was
carrying about 200 people, were treated for injuries.
