It was late,about 10:15 pm Janice Esposito got off the train,went to her car and started driving home.She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove automatically:turned left to the Station Road,then another left onto Montauk Highway,and then—bam!When Esposito's car had just crossed the railroad tracks,it hit another vehicle and was pushed back onto the tracks.Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up,she was stuck in the vehicle.
As it happened,Pete Dipinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window.As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher,Dipinto who was 65,fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation.“Any firefighter would have done what I did.We're always on duty,”he said.
At first,he spotted the other car in the accident.After making sure that the driver was all right,Dipinto looked around and discovered Esposito's car straddling(横跨) the railway tracks.And then he heard the bell ring,which signaled a train's arrival.
Dipinto rushed to Esposito's car and broke the window on the driver's side.Esposito looked up at him,with her eyes glazing over.“I don't know where I am,” she said.
“You’re on the railroad tracks,”Dipinto yelled.“I have to get you off right now!”The train was running towards them at a speed of some 105 kilometers per hour.The driver’s door cannot be opened due to the collision,so Dipinto quickly ran to the other side and managed to open the door.He put the airbags aside,seized her arms,pulled her towards him across the passenger seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible.Several seconds later,the train crashed into the vehicle.It was like a movie,Dipinto told reporters the next day.
“Last night,”said South Country Ambulance's Chief,“the hero arrived in pajamas(睡衣),not in a fire truck.”
