It's very sadden to hear the news - Tara McAvoy, 18 was killed by train snowplow while she was using pager and did not hear train honking the horn. This incident happened in Austin, Texas where she frequently walked on the train tracks.
She was 2005-2007 Miss Deaf Texas pageant and was Gallaudet student. My heart goes to her family and friends and wish her rest in peace.
Read the local news web site and Texas Association of the Deaf more about her.
UPDATE (3/15/2006): Grant Laird Jr. from Texas has an excellent article about Tara's death and Ke5ter's details how she got killed.
UPDATE II(3/16/2006): official web site of Tara Mcavoy Memorial.
UPDATE III (4/2/2006): Tale a look at her MySpace account and another unofficial MyDeathSpace entry.
