Two people were killed when the car they were in drove into the path of an Amtrak passenger train that was going through a railroad crossing in Oakland at 60 m.p.h., investigators said. The driver of the car pulled around other vehicles stopped at the crossing and then apparently disregarded a lowered gate, bells and flashing lights, according to Amtrak spokesman Clifford Black. No one on the train, the Coast Starlighter, was injured.
