Driver, 38, killed when Amtrak train strikes car at Holland crossing
A Toledo man was killed Thursday morning when he drove around lowered gates at a railroad crossing in Holland and was struck by an Amtrak passenger train, the Ohio State Highway Patrol reported. Michael Anthony Malczewski, 38, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash reported at 6:52 a.m. A highway patrol statement said Mr. Malczewski approached the Holloway Road crossing southbound in a 2017 Honda Civic with warning gates lowered and a freight train stopped nearby one of the two tracks. He entered the crossing and was struck by the Amtrak train approaching on the parallel track. Sgt. Shawn Fosgate, assistant commander of the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Bowling Green post, said at the scene that no one else was in the car, which was pushed about half a mile west along the tracks before the train stopped near the Wentworth Avenue dead end in Springfield Township.
Amtrak engine that hit car in Holland involved in second incident, east of Cleveland
An Amtrak train pulled by the same locomotive involved in a fatal car-train crash Thursday morning in suburban Toledo had a minor derailment Friday morning east of Cleveland after a piece of equipment dislodged from that locomotive. The eastbound Lake Shore Limited from Chicago to New York and Boston was officially canceled at 8:05 a.m., a little more than two hours after it left the Cleveland station. It had stopped in Toledo earlier Friday morning. The train stopped near Wickliffe, Ohio, shortly after leaving the Cleveland station at 5:52 a.m. Its crew reported hitting a crossing “hard,” with damage to the lead engine and one wheel assembly on a cafe car near the front of the train derailing. Whether the incident in Wickliffe was related in any way to the collision Thursday in Holland, Ohio, was not immediately known. But photos Steven Heister, a rail enthusiast, took of the damaged engine after it stopped near a crossing at Lloyd Road showed damage in the same part of the locomotive that hit an automobile the day before.

Toledo boxer Jared “Big Baby” Anderson was convicted Friday of a misdemeanor gun charge in a plea bargain to settle a drunken-driving arrest last month. Mr. Anderson entered a no-contest plea to improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle and was found guilty in Oregon Municipal Court by Judge Louis Kovacs, who fined him $200 and gave him a 180-day suspended sentence at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio. Police who pulled Mr. Anderson over for speeding during the wee hours of Nov. 6 reported finding liquor in the car and a Glock 17 pistol in the glove compartment.
