The victim was part of 999 Ride, an informal group that meets Thursday nights at 9 p.m. at 900 East and 900 South for group bicycle rides.
At about 11:15 p.m., several dozen members of the group were at 900 South and 600 West when a Union Pacific train crossed through the intersection. When the freight train had passed, the warning arms rose but the lights continued to flash as the FrontRunner train approached, and the arms went down again. A group of bicyclists tried to cross before the second train — which was traveling about 45 mph and sounding its horn, according to UTA spokesman Carl Arky — entered the intersection.
