San Mateo County sheriff's deputies Lance Whitted and Erik Rueppel were just blocks away when they heard a car crash into a crossing guard Monday, sheriff's spokesman Salvador Zuno told reporters.
They ran to the South Mary Avenue intersection in Sunnyvale and found the car trapped under the gate — just as a train was approaching
One officer sped to the car and yanked out the driver, video shows. They began running until the driver, a man in his 20s, fell to the ground, forcing the officer to drag him by the arm to safety.
Meanwhile, the other officer went to the tracks to signal the train to stop.
Seconds later, the Caltrain No. 385 barreled through, smashing the hood of the car into pieces, video shows.

Two quick-thinking deputies dragged a man out of his car just moments before two trains plowed into it in California.Quote from: "cc la femme"

Good question in light of the way so many incidents have wrongly played out in the US. ... my guess is that would make no difference to nearly all cops,I wonder if the driver was black?Quote from: "SPECTRE"
