Man drives down railroad tracks on his way to McDonald's, police say

DUQUESNE, Pa. — A man was arrested for driving under the influence after he drove his car onto railroad tracks early Saturday morning in Duquesne.

Police said they responded to reports of a car stuck on the tracks at State Route 837 and Grant Avenue shortly after 3 a.m.

Officers said the 52-year-old driver was on his way to McDonald's when he went off the roadway and ended up on the railroad track.

In a post from the City of Duquesne Police Department's Facebook page, police said he "smelled like a brewery" and " walked as though he was a tightrope walker at the circus."

Police said they gave the man a sobriety test, which he "failed miserably."

He was arrested at the scene and the car was towed from the tracks, according to police.
