well...
at the bridge the trolley fell off it
oh well
Jeffery's parents died in a trolley accident when the engineer got drunk and drove the trolley off a bridge into a river, where his parents drowned. Sad, huh?
Jeffrey "Maniac" Magee was in shock and disbelief at what he saw on the trestle because it was a dangerous and life-threatening situation. The sight of the approaching train and the boys stuck on the tracks paralyzed him temporarily, preventing him from processing the situation quickly.
Maniac's parents were passengers on a trolley in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania that was struck by a drunk driver and sank in the Schuylkill River.
they were in trouble
the climax of maniac happens when he finds a place to live
Maniac raced mars bar

In the book "Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli, Russell McNab dies after being hit by an East End trolley while running to retrieve his boomerang for a competition. His death deeply affects the community, leading Maniac Magee to take action to make the neighborhood safer for kids.
he goes to the park to play ball
Maniac Magee's parents die in a trolley accident, leading him to become an orphan. Maniac runs away from his Aunt and Uncle and becomes homeless, living in a zoo. Maniac bridges the racial divide in the town by uniting the East End and West End communities. Maniac makes a legendary run at the Little League home run hitting contest. Maniac rescues a boy from a dangerous buffalo pen and becomes a local hero.
Maniac was three years old when his parents died in a trolley wreck then he has to move in with his Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan. The book says that he stayed with them for eight years before running away so I'm assuming he was eleven years old in the book (8+3).
