California Train Wreck

(Los Angeles, California) Currently, 24 people are known to have died from injuries as rescue workers search for more. A total of 135 people, so far, are reported as injured with 81 sent to hospitals. At least nine are listed in critical condition.

Regarding the cause of the collision:

A preliminary investigation found that "it was a Metrolink engineer that failed to stop at a red signal and that was the probable cause" of Friday's collision with a freight train in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, Metrolink spokeswoman Denise Tyrrell said.

She said she believes the engineer, whose name was not released, is dead.

We need to know more about this guy who ran the red light. It appears that he was either out of his mind or he was suicidal and wanted to take people with him.
