This is literally right around the corner from my house. I live near the Palmdale Metrolink station, which is just south of where this happened.

I can't wrap my mind around why this stuff keeps happening.

Yeah, this is an odd series of crashes in a short period of time.

what is it with the women and trains? i know mental health probably is a factor but seriously this getting to be much.

i think the tracks need security. the metrocrash before this the man who decided to have his car on the tracks, serves as a great reason to protects the track because to the damage they can do to light rail.
