Witnesses told police that they saw the couple shouting at each other inside a 2005 Dodge Magnum that was waiting at the crossing for the oncoming Lancaster-bound train, which was filled with about 125 passengers, to pass. Suddenly, Sands said, the man pulled his car into the opposing lane of traffic, sped past two other waiting cars and the crossing gate, and parked on the tracks.

Some witnesses told police that Funches appeared to have jumped out of the Dodge just as the train hit the vehicle. But police believe that he was ejected from the car when the train hit it -- perhaps while trying to leave the vehicle. The impact sent metal debris flying, with some of the pieces fatally wounding Funches, Sands said.

Detectives believe that Funches placed the car on the tracks with the passenger side facing the train in hopes of killing his girlfriend.

Some days, karma IS a bitch. This time, nobody else died except the dumbass.

You have to feel for the engineers who drive trains - they say if you do it for more than ten years, you have to deal with at least one person stepping right in front of you - and there's nothing you can do.

Even if the dumbass is the only one who died, he managed to do so in such a way as to seriously inconvenience a lot of other people (train engineer and passengers, firefighters), *and* endanger the life of his girlfriend. Seems like there's more karma he oughta owe, than what he's paid.

The last guy to do this took 11 people with him. In the truest sense of karma, by the book, this guy is going to come back and go through it all again.

I hope he goes through it as a feral cat in Downtown Los Angeles.
