A mother who was caught on video racing a freight train last week in Indiana has died this morning after her minivan didn't make it across the tracks in time and the car was hit by two trains, reports the Chicago Tribune.

The 32-year-old woman's death follows her two children, ages 8 and 11, who were killed in the Sept. 1 crash outside the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District's Hammond station.

Both freights were operated by CSX Corp. of Florida.

Check out the video HERE. Video is shot from two angles and comes from Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District.

FYI, no blood is shown but it does show the desperation some drivers have to beat trains -- an issue that Metrolink is working on here with $20 million to seal up right-of-ways to stop these kinds of motorists.
