"OAKLAND — Two musicians performing with the award-winning soul group Tower of Power were hit by a passenger train in Jack London Square on Thursday night, according to fire officials. Tower of Power was scheduled to play two shows at Yoshi’s nightclub Thursday night. They had reportedly been heading to the show from a nearby hotel when they were struck."

I read that they had stopped at the tracks to let the train go by and then went to cross not knowing a train was also coming from the other direction. Sad situation.
