Is this the guy who they said might have been texting some kids?

Didn't he die in the crash? The story said two people died, so I'm a little confused.

There are people who are surrounded by bigots
and know it is wrong, but are afraid to be vocal against it.
These people are going to pull the lever for Obama
and they are not being polled.

This was posted as a history article from 2002. I tried to title it so no one would be confused.

I found it interesting that after that head-on crash they proposed the same solutions that they are still talking about now, 6 years and 25 fatalities later.

The freight engineer, Darrell Wells, and the conductor, Dean E. Tacoronte, jumped from the train moments before the crash. Tacoronte’s mother-in-law, Betty Wood, said he remained hospitalized with head injuries.

No this article and the findings negate that the man who had been texting (the Metrolink engineer who died) was not at fault the freight engineer who lived was and is. Also the Metrolink had right of way.

Please negate my last post. This is an old article. Was confused same as you, but now the OP has clarified.
