Teenage girl pushed to safety by her 'first love' .

A 16-year-old girl is alive but in critical condition after she and her young boyfriend were hit by a train as they walked to a high school dance together at a school in northern California.

Sadly, Mickayla Friend's 16-year-old boyfriend, Mateus Moore - who her family describes as her 'first love' - didn't survive. And according to witnesses, Friend may have been killed as well had Moore not pushed her out of the way at the very last second, keeping her from getting pinned underneath the train.

It remains unclear why the teens didn't hear the train's horn when it sounded as it was bearing down on them as they walked down the tracks. It's also unclear what they were doing on the tracks at all - according to witnesses, the couple was walking to grab a bite to eat before heading into the dance, but authorities aren't sure why they chose to walk on the tracks rather than take the road.

Sad shit, but yeah, wonder why they didn't hear the train.

 

How tragic. Makes no sense why. What a hero he is, forever. I hope she pulls through so he did not die in vain.

 

Very sad.

 

The word "hero" has been used so loosely to where it lost its meaning in many ways.

However, I think it's safe to actually grant this title to the "first love" that acted on selflessness and sacrificed his own life to save another, and many more.

 

Wow, had heard about this story, didn't know the backstory. R.I.P to him and hope she can survive and recover.

 

why the hell would they be on the tracks in the first place?
I did see this on facebook, and of course it is tragic, but also some stupidity going on there too, I hate to say!
