Wild Turn of Events Ends with California DUI

Andre Becerra, Jr. reportedly looked down momentarily just as a line of cars ahead of him started stopping for an on-coming train. To avoid hitting the other vehicles, he swerved to the left, hit the concrete base of the railroad crossing arm and his car came to a stop on the railroad tracks.

Becerra, 18, and his two passengers managed to get out of the vehicle before the oncoming train hit his car. The impact though forced the car from the tracks, and into Becerra.

The responding California Highway Patrol officers found Becerra to be driving under the influence. In addition to being treated for minor injuries, he was charged with California DUI in Stockton.

Following a two day court-martial, a military judge found Pvt.

Hendricks, 23, was given a bad conduct discharge from the Army and sentenced to 18 months in prison. He was also ordered to forfeit his pay and Army benefits.
