It was late, about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito
jumped into her minivan (小货车) and began the 20-minute 1 home to her husband and seven-year old Son. She'd
just returned from 2 her mother and had traveled the 3 so many times. Out of 4 on that awful night, a car knocked into
Esposito's minivan, pushing her backward 5 100 feet onto the railroad
tracks.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready
for bed. 6 he heard the sharp clang (哐当声) of metal on metal and breaking glass coming from not far outside
his bedroom window. A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64,
never 7 to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still
wore his pajamas (睡衣), 8 the door.
The first car he 9 , 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one
that had hit Esposito. Once DiPinto 10 the driver was OK, he looked around and 11 Esposito's minivan sitting on the railroad
tracks. And then he heard the urgent sound: an 12 train.
DiPinto 13 to Esposito's minivan and banged on the driver's
side window. She just looked at him and she seemed 14 .
"Honey, you're on the railroad tracks,"
DiPinto shouted. "We have to get you 15 right now!" He pulled the handle 16 , but the door was jammed. A heavy train, 17 at 65 miles per hour, was speeding up toward
them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the door. Please, God,
don't let her be trapped, he thought. He pulled her toward him across the seat
and rapidly walked her to 18 a few feet away. Within Six seconds, the train
ran into the minivan. "It was like a Hollywood movie."
But this story had a(n) 19 . "Last night." South County
