Newly released video of the moments before a cyclist was struck and killed by a FrontRunner train in Salt Lake City shows the 22-year-old didn’t appear to stop or heed the warning signals before darting across the railroad tracks.
Cameron Hooyer was riding his bike along with hundreds of others as part of a weekly, informal Thursday night meet up, dubbed the 999 Ride. About 11:15 p.m., about two hours after the ride began, the riders arrived at the railroad crossing at 900 South and 600 West.
Video released by Utah Transit Authority on Thursday shows dozens of bikers entering the tracks in the moments after a freight train passed, while the crossing arms are down and lights are still flashing.
