During an argument with his girlfriend, Brandon Julius Funches, a 21 year old from Los Angeles, drove his 2005 Dodge Magnum onto train tracks and stopped it as a high-speed Metrolink train approached his car.
According to initial reports, Brandon deliberately placed himself and his girlfriend, Michelle Wright, in the path of the train with the aim of killing them both. However, just before the 450-ton Metrolink hit the car at 128km/h, Brandon got out. As he fled, he was struck by flying debris from the smash, killing him instantly. Despite the Dodge being broken into so many pieces police initially could not identify the model of car, Michelle Wright miraculously survived the impact.
