Nemesis: Man Leaves Girlfriend On Railway, She Gets Hit And Lives, He Gets Hit By His Car And Dies
What a tragic yet, unbelievable story. A 21-year-old Californian man who tried to kill his 23-year-old female companion by leaving her in a parked car on a railway crossing at San Fernando Road and Branford Street, L.A. was ironically killed himself when the oncoming Metrolink commuter train threw the parked Dodge into him.
According to eyewitnesses, the couple had been seen arguing in their 2005 Dodge Magnum when suddenly, the man pulled the car into the opposing lane and parked it on the railway lines gate just before the crossing arm dropped. Although some witnesses told police that the man jump out of the Dodge just as the train hit the vehicle, police are unsure whether he also intended to commit suicide. Although seriously injured, the young woman is expected to survive. Luckily no one aboard the train, which was carrying 132 passengers and crew, was injured. Via: LA Times
