Metrolink Covina crash
Reporter Frank Girardot has received a lot of complaints about the crossing arm near the intersection of Barranca Avenue and San Bernardino Road.
Earl Brown, 53, and his niece, Raven Smith, 10, were killed and Brown's daughter, Christina Brown, 12, injured when their car collided with a train there at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Metrolink officials said computer records from a crossing arm indicate it was functioning properly.
But residents who have used the railroad crossing have said that there were problems before. Police are still investigating the accident, so this story might not be over.
