Man's Plot Ends In Own Death
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A man trying to kill his girlfriend by stopping a car in front of an approaching train was himself killed monday when the train hit the vehicle and launched it into him as he tried to flee, police said.
The girlfriend survived.
The man drove the car in front of a group of vehicles stopped at a railroad crossing in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Sunland, Officer Mike Lopez Said.
The driver, who was seen arguing with his girlfriend, parked the car on the tracks and jumped out, leaving her behind, Lopez said.
A northbound commuter train hit the rear of the car, hurling it into the man. The girlfriend was taken to the hospital, where she was in stable condition, Lopez said.
"She gets hit by a train and lives. He gets hit by his own car and he dies," Lopez said.
The train was heading from downtown Lancaster in northern Los Angeles County at the time of the 12:08pm crash, said Denise Tyrell, a spokeswoman fdor Metrolink.
I think that guy deserves a Darwin Award, huh?
