This is the front page of ksl.com right now, 7:05pm on Wednesday.
The teen was going around the gates. One train passed so she crossed. She didn’t see the train coming from the other direction, got hit and died. Train vs. person, train will always win. BE SMART!!
The 14-year-old in Herriman who got hit was crossing through an intersection but he had a red light. One car saw him, the second car didn’t. Bikes going through red lights is a common practice, especially downtown. I thought this was okay, but it isn’t. When you are on a bike, you have to act like a car. You have to stop at stop lights, signal for lane changes, etc… For further detail on the rules for bikers, read this short page!
Finally, in the picture above, there is a story about the Nurse who was killed in a hit and run. She was riding her bike with full lights, and someone hit her resulting in her death. To add insult to injury, that person is unnamed. Freaking jerk. Pay attention to the road. Put down your cell phones and watch out for bikers.
This horrible news is too much for one day. Everyone please be safe and have respect for yourself and large objects around you!!
true dat. i loved how in europe bikers had their own lane everywhere and the right of way. drivers paid attention and respected the bikers. slc is a wee bit behind.
