LAPEER CO. -- A Flint man is fortunate after his car was struck by a train Friday morning.
The Lapeer County Sheriff’s Department says 26 year old Jason Brimmer attempted to go around the crossing arms at a railroad track on Lake Nepessing Rd. in Lapeer.
An on-coming Amtrack passenger train hit Brimmer's car, tearing it completely in half and sending a portion of the car through the window of the Jackson Hewitt Tax building.
Miraculously, Brimmer only suffered a small scratch on his left knee and did not need medical attention.
Brimmer was issued several citations.
