The 2005 Glendale train crash is the second deadliest incident in the history of Metrolink, the commuter railroad in the Los Angeles, California, area. It was overtaken as the deadliest by the 2008 Chatsworth train collision. On January 26, 2005 at 6:03 am PST, a Metrolink commuter train collided with a sport utility vehicle that had been abandoned on the tracks near the Los Feliz Blvd. undercrossing next to a Costco Store on the Glendale-Los Angeles boundary in an industrial area, north of downtown Los Angeles. The train jacknifed and struck trains on either side of it, one a stationary Union Pacific freight train and the other a Metrolink train moving in the opposite direction, resulting in the deaths of 11 people. Juan Manuel Alvarez, who left his Jeep Cherokee Sport on the tracks, was arrested and charged with 11 counts of murder with "special circumstances." Authorities and Alvarez' legal defense claimed Alvarez was planning to commit suicide, but changed his mind at the last minute.
