Teenager sacrifices his life to save his friend

Article: A 16 year old from Northern California, Mateus Moore, and his girlfriend, Mickayla, were going to a dance party at their high school this weekend when they were struck by a train. The train was not moving fast but somehow neither Mateus or Mickayla heard the train nor felt its vibrations. Mickayla, who is in the hospital with critical injuries, told her family that she and Mateus were walking across the tracks to get a snack at the time of the accident. They decided to walk across the tracks instead of taking an underground pedestrian tunnel because they felt the underground tunnel was too dark and potentially dangerous. As the train came, Mateus shoved his girlfriend out of the direct path of the train and in so doing, sacrificed his own life.
