A person walking on the TRAX line in South Salt Lake was struck and killed by a train Monday night.
The unidentified victim was on the track just south of the Millcreek Station at 210 West 3300 South. According to UTA, the incident took place about 9:45 p.m. in an area with little lighting, and the operator of the northbound train did not see the victim until just before impact.
It was the third death involving a UTA train in 10 days. On July 14, Delwin Laughridge, 53, of American Fork, was killed by a FrontRunner train when he went under the crossing arm near 200 South 500 West and tried to cross the tracks.
