What do you want to do?
12-year-old Andrew Wu was on his way to school and attempting to catch the Muni light-rail train at Lakeview and San Jose Avenues at about 8:30 a.m., when he was struck and killed by the already-moving train. Witnesses say they saw two cars nearly hit the boy as he was crossing San Jose Avenue, but as he maneuvered around the vehicles he moved into the path of the train, which he didn't see until it was too late. The train dragged him, and he was pinned underneath before eventually being pronounced dead.
