A fatal crash involving a Tri-Rail train and an electric bicycle was reported Friday morning in Lake Worth Beach.
Authorities said the collision happened at about 7:41 a.m. near Lake Worth Road when a southbound Tri-Rail train struck a person riding an electric bicycle on the tracks. The bicycle was described in local reports as a Super Shark electric bike.
The rider was later identified as 37-year-old Ulisse Ricardo Aponte of Coconut Creek. Officials said he died from his injuries.
Passengers on the train remained at the Lake Worth station for more than two hours after the collision. Some riders said the stop initially felt routine and that they did not realize a crash had happened until after the train came to a halt and people looked toward the rear.
No additional injuries were reported in the information available. Authorities have not publicly released a final explanation for how the bicyclist came to be on the tracks, and the circumstances of the crash remain under investigation.
