friends say warning lights never work.</b></div> <bR> <div> A psychic told Jason Rinard some time ago that he would never pass his 18th birthday. Her prediction turned out to be eerily accurate.</div> <bR> <div> Rinard, who turned 18 years old Christmas Day, was struck and killed by a freight train Friday morning as he walked to his girlfriend's house.</div> <bR> <div> Friends said he may have been listening to rock 'n' roll music on a Walkman compact disc player and probably didn't hear or see the train. But Clinton Township Traffic Sgt. Thomas Terzo said the engineer told police the teen-ager tried to beat the train across the tracks.</div> <bR> <div> "The engineer said he was running across the tracks and he didn't see him until the last minute," Terzo said. "It was very dark at the time of the accident (6 a.m.) and you couldn't see on either side of the tracks."</div> <bR> <div> Rinard's girlfriend, Sunnie Stetler, said the last thing he told her early Friday was that he loved her. Stetler said she told him that she loved him even more. She then hung up the telephone and waited for him to arrive so they could take the bus together to Chippewa Valley High School.</div> <bR> <div> Rinard never finished the half-mile walk from Remick Street to Stetler's residence on the other side of the tracks. Police said he was struck and killed on Rudgate Way, just west of Groesbeck Highway.</div> <bR> <div> Terzo said the railroad crossing red lights were flashing and the bells were ringing at the time of the accident. But the victim's close friend, who lives in the area, said the warning lights often don't work.</div> <bR> <div> "I have never seen them work," Kathryn Pigloski said.</div> <bR> <div> Josh Steinbrink, a senior at Chippewa Valley and Rinard's best friend, agreed.</div> <bR> <div> "The lights there never work when a train is coming," he said.</div> <bR> <div> Stetler, a junior at Chippewa Valley, said Rinard went to the psychic just for fun. She said he didn't take the prediction very seriously.</div> <div> Now she said she finds it scary.</div> <bR> <div> Stetler said she and Rinard, also a junior, had planned on getting married after they finished college. She said that both of their grades in high school had picked up after they met each other.</div> <bR> <div> Stetler, while wiping back tears and wearing Rinard's gray sweat shirt and jeans, said he wanted to attend Macomb Community College in September and enter culinary arts school.</div> <bR> <div> "He was the most perfect person I know," Stetler said. "Everyone loved him very much. He always did everything for me."</div> <div> Stetler said Rinard often told her that she was his very special angel.</div> <bR> <div> "Now," she said, "he will be my very special angel."</div> <bR> <div> Stetler said she received a ring from Rinard for Valentine's Day and hopes he can be buried with it.</div> <bR> <div> Rinard is survived by his mother, Terri; father, Steven; brothers, Jeremy, 21, and Christopher, 11; and sisters, Heather 16, and Lisa 13.</div> <div> Sunnie's mother, Dianna Stetler, who works with Rinard's mother, said she hopes her own sons grow up just like Rinard.</div> <bR> <div> Dianna Stetler said she liked Rinard because of his kind personality. She said he didn't drink or smoke and she loved him like her own son.</div> <bR> <div> Friends and relatives of Rinard gathered at the railroad crossing late Friday morning leaving flowers in his honor. They said they will never forget the slight, funny teen who always made them laugh.</div> <bR> <div> "There never was anyone quite like Jason," Steinbrink said. "He had no enemies. Everyone got along with him."</div> <bR> <div> Steinbrink said Rinard was interested in martial arts and collected medieval swords.</div> <bR> <div> "We all walk through here (crossing) many times a day and the trains scare me," said Allison Sciandra, 17, also a student at Chippewa Valley.</div> <bR> <div> Kathryn Pigloski, 16, said the size of the passing trains has always scared her.</div> <bR> <div> "We're really going to miss him," said John Gillis, 16.</div> <bR> <div> Patricia L. Kennedy, superintendent of Chippewa Valley Public Schools, said Rinard will be deeply missed by his teachers and classmates. Kennedy said the entire district is mourning his death.</div> <bR> <div> She said he was considerate, creative, loyal and well-liked. She further said he was a good friend to others.</div> <bR> <div> "Our thoughts and prayers go out to this young man's family and friends during this time of great sorrow," Kennedy said.</div> <bR> <div> She added that the school's crisis team assembled Friday morning to provide counseling for students. She said a special voicemail crisis line is available for district parents and students who may need counseling over the weekend.</div> <bR> <div> Teachers and counselors will be available to meet with students Monday, said Diane Blain, spokeswoman for Chippewa Valley schools.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="246"><div> Police Investigating Accident</div> <div> <B>CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., 8:23 a.m. EST March 2, 2001-- </b></div> <div> One man is dead after apparently being struck by a train in Clinton Township, according to medical authorities. </div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="166" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="162"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="162" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> The man was struck at Groesbeck and Weybridge about 6:10 a.m. Friday morning. </div> <bR> <div> Police are on the scene investigating the accident. </div> <bR> <div> Weybridge and Little Mack are closed while the accident is investigated. </div> <bR> <div> Stay with ClickOnDetroit.com and Local First News for the latest on this developing story. </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="246"><div> <B>High school student, 18, is killed at rail crossing </b></div> <div> <I>March 3, 2001</I> </div> <div> Less than two weeks after Gov.
