When Robert Gillespie looked up from his text message, he saw a freight train. EOM. (“End of message,” that is, for non-texters.) Eugene police say Gillespie’s car crashed into the side of the Union Pacific freight train about 2 a.m. Tuesday.

When officers arrived, they found him alert and talking, but trapped in the car. They learned about the cell phone and text message as they worked to rescue him.
