Dozens of the injured were in critical condition. After the Metrolink train hit the SUV, it derailed and crashed with another train going in the opposite direction. Both trains landed on their sides, sending passengers tumbling down the aisles, authorities said. The SUV driver changed his mind about suicide and left the vehicle before it was hit, Police Chief Randy Adams said. The man will be charged with homicide, he said."   With Love, CtrlAltDel aka Dave C4/5 Complete - 28 Years Post Texas, USA Hey Dave,   Thanks for the info on that!  On the news here they made it sound like it was a freak accident that 3 trains collided with each other.  We've had about 3 major train crashes in the last 18 months, all of them there were multiple fatalities.  The frustrating thing is, is that all of the UK crashes were caused due to faulty rail tracks...   Love Smurf xxx
