Police: Indiana Mom Attempts to Outrun Freight Train, Kills 2 Children

9/6/07

An Indiana mom attempted to outrun a freight train at an intersection but didn't see a train approaching from the other direction and crashed, killing two of her children, police said.
Authorities released a video showing Edie Bolanos attempting to outrun an eastbound train in her minivan by cutting through a parking lot and making a quick turn.
"It seemed that she [Edie Bolanos] was so intent on beating the eastbound train, she never even saw the westbound train that hit her," Hammond Police Sgt. Michael Jorden said.
Two of Bolanos' children, Crystal, 11, and Anahi, 8, were ejected from the van and pronounced dead at the scene. The other two children in the van were in stable condition.

To quote my aunt, "Stupid people do STUPID things!" It is tragic that in this case it cost 2 innocent children their lives! You should never be in too much of a hurry to operate safely! And that INCLUDES watching what is going on around you!
