Original story is here.

SoCal Woman Stuck on Tracks Called 911 Before Death

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- A Lake Forest woman who died from injuries suffered when her car was struck by a freight train in Anaheim dialed 911 to report her predicament and was being urged by a dispatcher to get out of the car when the phone went dead, police said Tuesday.

Linda Kruger-Small, 68, was in a 2005 Honda Civic that got stuck on Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks just south of Lakeview Street and Orangethorpe Avenue Monday. The car was struck by a freight train traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles.

Anaheim police Sgt. Rick Martinez said police received a 911 call from a woman asking for help because she was stuck on railroad tracks.

A dispatcher who was advising her to get out of the car was able to hear a man trying to help the woman -- but then the line went dead, Martinez said.

Yeah, I have the Natural selection one too but I like this one better.

Actually, I have made these Demotivational posters my screensaver. I just chucked them all in to a folder and I have those all cycle through as the screensaver. Schweet.

Umm but yeah, What a stupid way to go.

Maybe she had some physycal limitations so she could not get out right away but seriously, if your car dies on the railroad tracks, check it out immidiately and claw you way out of the car if you see something coming. Big trains are very motivational even without legs.

Oh my.

She should have ran like heck, but instead she pulls out her phone and calls 911. That probably wasted 30 seconds of her life.

'What the hell' moment when I read that.

One question though; was she disabled in any way?
