THE WEEKEND DEATH OF A SANTA FE WOMAN WHO WAS HIT BY A RAIL RUNNER TRAIN IS DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE NEED FOR VIGILANCE AROUND TRACKS. SIXTY YEAR OLD SUZANNE LEBEAU WAS KILLED WHILE TRYING TO CROSS THE TRACKS AS SHE WAS RIDING HER BIKE.
JAY FAUGHT WITH THE RIO METRO REGIONAL TRANSIT DISTRICT SAYS PEOPLE TAKE TOO MANY RISKS AROUND TRAINS, SOMETHING HE'S SEEN FROM HIS OFFICE IN DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE. HE SAYS HE'S SEEN PARENTS ALLOW THEIR KIDS TO PLAY ON THE TRACKS UNTIL THE TRAIN ARRIVES.
LAST WEEK ANOTHER WOMAN WAS HIT AND KILLED BY A RAIL RUNNER TRAIN IN ALBUQUERQUE'S SOUTH VALLEY.
