He is charged with four felony counts, including traveling to meet after using a computer to solicit a child. He is being held in jail on a $300,000 bond. Maddox played college ball for the University of Florida and was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 2012. He made his major league debut with the team in 2017 after several years in the minors. He spent about three months on the Red Sox roster before heading back to the minors to recover from shoulder injuries. He was released from the team in 2019.

Amtrak Train 281 was traveling from New York to Niagara Falls when it hit a Dodge truck Friday evening in North Tonawanda, N.Y. https://t.co/HpDoLKZ4ji — WJZ | CBS Baltimore (@wjz) May 19, 2024 An eyewitness described the horrific crash to local media. Per WGRZ: An eyewitness to the deadly crash involving an Amtrak passenger train and a pickup truck Friday night says the description of the incident makes it sound like it was 10 minutes. “But it wasn’t, it happened fast,” said Chrissy Galla Reid. Reid says the pickup truck, which was driving northbound on River Road in North Tonawanda tried turning right on to Felton Street just before 8 p.m. Reid was stopped at a red light on River Road, driving southbound toward her home in Kenmore. According to Reid, a separate incident on Felton Street caused to pickup truck to momentarily pause on the railroad tracks. She said a North Tonawanda police vehicle was parked on the side of Felton Street close to the rail road track swing arm, facing east towards Oliver Street. In front of the police cruiser was a disable vehicle, and on the other side of Felton Street was a tow truck. The tow truck was facing west toward the Niagara River. Reid says it’s possible the pickup truck that was hit by the Amtrak train paused on the tracks because it either couldn’t get through, or wasn’t sure if they should try to drive through. “They pulled pretty decently close to where that emergency vehicle was,” Reid said. “And I thought, ‘Why would anybody pull and sit on the railroad tracks?’ ” Seconds later, Reid began to panic. “All of a sudden, I hear the train horn,” Reid said. The swing arms began to lower, according to Reid, and the pickup truck became boxed-in between them. WATCH:
