A man died Thursday morning when a Frontrunner train ran over him at the station in Orem.
“It appears as though he was distracted,” said Utah Transit Authority spokesman Carl Arky. “We don’t know if he had earbuds in or was on a cellphone or what at this point."
The man’s identity has not been released. The collision happened at 4:53 a.m. Afterwards, trains were delayed and UTA shuttled passengers with buses. Service was restored about 6:15 a.m.
UTA cameras showed that two men were crossing the tracks to reach the platform at the south end of the Orem station at 4:53 a.
