A CALIFORNIAN man who tried to kill his girlfriend by leaving her in a car parked across railway lines was himself killed when an oncoming train hurled the car into him as he fled.
His girlfriend survived, the Associated Press reported.
The man drove the car to the head of a line of traffic stopped at a level crossing in the San Fernando Valley neighbourhood of Sunland on Monday, police spokesman Mike Lopez said.
The man, who was seen arguing with the woman, then parked the car on the tracks and jumped out, leaving her behind, Mr Lopez said.
A 450-tonne commuter train hit the rear of the car, launching it into the man.
The girlfriend, who was injured , was taken to hospital in a stable condition.
"She gets hit by a train and lives. He gets hit by his own car and he dies,'' Mr Lopez said.

Karma’s been busy lately.
I hope she got a good look at his horrified expression as the car drilled him.
..ban all commuter trains!
That’s what John Lennon and his Plastic Ono Band might call “Instant Karma.”
Is that called "Car-ma"?
If he owned an SUV the headline would read “Man killed by own SUV.”
That car-ma mowed down the lousy dog-ma...
That's gonna leave a mark.
Justice.
Godly justice
