NAVASOTA, TX -- The mother of a 19-year-old woman says her daughter was killed when she was struck by a train while having photos taken of her on the tracks in a bid to launch a modeling career.

Holy moley. Train tracks are dangerous. A photo shoot on tracks? Well better be sure the train isn’t coming . use common sense. Very sad lessons learned the hard way.
They tried the beach but there were too many sharks.
Was everyone involved deaf? or stoned? or was the train traveling at mach 1.1? My mom used to tell me don’t play on the train tracks.
According to the article she would have been modeling maternity collections in a couple of months.
“Darwin Awards are given out for a REASON.”
Not really. They’re as fraudulent as the 44th “president”.
This sounds awful but I don’t understand how this could have happened. Were they both hard of hearing?
Well if your mamma’s name is Hakamie; then I guess anything’s possible.
It’s the new Hi-Speed SuperMach Bullet Train. You don’t hear it coming until you’re dead.
Actually Blinn College is in Brenham, Texas - not Bryan, Texas.
Brenham is a very beautiful town little town, that makes Mayberry seem like the Bronx.
I think that woman is the leading Darwin contender so far this year-modeling on train tracks while pregnant and somehow did not check the tracks or listen for another train-not sure any other contender can top that...
Two happened to come at the same time. She stepped out of the way of one, only to be hit by the other.
Wow, had no idea it’s so frequent.
“Every week in the United States in 2014, about 16 people were killed by trains”
Sorry it’s from an ant-American article, so perhaps it’s inflated, but like baby deaths in hot cars, there about 30 every year, but people will start tuning out Big Media if they report them all.
Her family has set up a GoFundMe for her funeral expenses.
Wow. Now that's trashy.
..some caboose
This is a theme in at least one movie I’ve seen - jump out of the way of one train to get hit by another. it’s how I hit a pedestrian a decade ago.
And no, I was never held responsible.
Yep, its a very pretty place, great for taking motorcycle rides when the flowers start popping up.
very sad...we’ve all done stupid things...risky things...I have....
