Man's plot to kill girlfriend ends with his death

Quote:

A CALIFORNIAN man who tried to kill his girlfriend by leaving her in
a car parked across railway lines was himself killed when an oncoming train
hurled the car into him as he fled.

His girlfriend survived, the Associated Press reported.

The man drove the car to the head of a line of traffic stopped at a level crossing in the San Fernando Valley neighbourhood of Sunland on Monday, police spokesman Mike Lopez said.

The man, who was seen arguing with the woman, then parked the car on the tracks and jumped out, leaving her behind, Mr Lopez said.

A 450-tonne commuter train hit the rear of the car, launching it into the man.

The girlfriend, who was injured , was taken to hospital in a stable condition.

"She gets hit by a train and lives. He gets hit by his own car and he dies,'' Mr Lopez said.

No one aboard the train, which was carrying 132 passengers and crew, was injured, a Metrolink spokeswoman said

I can hear Nelson from the Simpsons saying 'ha-ha'.

That moron got OWNED :D

Seriously though, its really sad when someone moves to kill a significant other or family member. But at least in this case, justice was swift in the form of Darwin-ism.
