Soccer star, 14, killed after being 'sucked into freight train's vacuum' when she went on tracks to retrieve her phone

A 14-year-old girl has been killed by a train after she went to retrieve her cell phone which she dropped on the tracks. Jenna Betti was hit by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway freight train in Martinez, California around 5pm on Sunday, police said. According to the 14-year-old's mother Dena Derenale Betti, Jenna had reportedly been sitting on the tracks with her boyfriend and jumped off when the train approached. However realizing that she had dropped her phone, she ran back for it but misjudged the distance of the freight train and was 'sucked in by its vacuum'. The 14-year-old was pronounced dead when emergency services arrived at the scene. An investigation is underway today. Mrs Betti wrote in a Facebook post that her daughter had been sitting in the tracks with her boyfriend.
