A community outside San Francisco is in mourning this week after 15-year old Austin Price was struck by a train and killed on Thursday evening. The incident took place around 6 p.m. and was the result of a game of chicken, authorities confirm. Police say Price and two other teens were playing on the tracks near San Lorenzo High School when the former failed to get out of the way of a northbound Capitol Corridor train. At a school in mourning, Principal Tovi Scruggs acknowledged that students often play near the tracks, while signs were hung in hallways that said “Austin, we’ll miss you.” Several moments of silence were held for the sophomore, with Scruggs echoing the sentiments of other teenagers who said they will no longer take things for granted. “Life is precious,” Scruggs said.
