Sheriff’s Office vehicle destroyed in crash with train

A Sheriff's Office suburban was demolished by a Union Pacific train Sunday evening. Detective Dick Blust, spokesman for the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office, says that Corporal Tony Niemiec responded at around 7:30 PM to a call from someone whose vehicle had become stuck near the railroad tracks east of Rock Springs. Blust says that Niemiec became stuck himself and was unable to free his 2009 Chevrolet Suburban.






Niemiec, who was alone at the time, was able to get out of the Suburban just before the crash. He and the train crew were not injured.
