Channel 4 reports that an alleged Masshole who drove around a train-crossing gate managed to get out of his car when it got stuck just before an MBTA commuter train plowed into it in Abington this afternoon. Nobody on the train was hurt, but passengers on one inbound train had to be put on a bus to Braintree as crews cleaned up the resulting mess.

The Patriot Ledger reports the driver "became distracted" and didn't see the gate coming down until it was too late.
