Tragic, but vehicle mentioned more than victims names.

The first driver made it but Renteria didn't. No mention of what the first driver was driving. An SUV perhaps?

"It's just never a good idea to go around a rail road track," You know, if the reporter & editor weren't so focused on the SUV they might have caught this error.

Hi All-
Some moronic people are always in such a damned hurry that they're not even willing to wait for passing trains. My guess is that this was likely a little bit of bleach in the gene pool.

A 2-year-old boy and his parents were killed when their sport utility vehicle went around a railroad crossing gate and was struck by a commuter trainThat'll happen everytime this stunt is tried.

Love the way these articles are slanted. It's as if the driver was waiting patiently at the crossing, when his SUV got impatient and all by itself drove around the lowered gates.
BTW, the technology exists to prevent trag- oops, I mean dumb-a$$ accidents like this:

Even if an evil, oil guzzling 4,400# SUV rams the gate at 43 miles an hour, you still can't get in front of the train. Neat, huh?

I know that Darwin awards are usually reserved for those who manage to kill themselves before they procreate, but this guy deserves honorable mention given that this dumbazz off'd his progeny as well.

when their sport utility vehicle went around a railroad crossing gate It really is a bizarre way to describe this event.
