Marcees Kilpatrick, 13, killed by SunRail train while walking bike near tracks in Sanford, Florida
Boy, 13, walking bike near tracks killed by SunRail train in Sanford, cops say
Many in the Sanford neighborhood use those tracks daily to cross from Academy Manor to the Goldsboro neighborhood. It was something Aikens, 37, did nearly every day as a child.
Police say a teenage boy, whom they identified as 13-year-old Marcees Kilpatrick, was hit by a SunRail train while walking his bicycle near the tracks during rush hour Friday evening.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
