One Killed, One Injured After Pair Explores Train Trestle
Two people were struck by a train while hiking on a trestle hundreds of feet off the ground on Saturday near Lynchburg, Virginia, according to ABC News. One man was killed and his female friend was injured.
The victims, both 21, were Victoria Bridges and Jonathan Gregoire, the latter of whom was pronounced dead at the scene. Bridges was airlifted to a local Virginia hospital and is reportedly in stable condition and speaking to her family.
The last photo on Gregoire’s Instagram account—where he chronicled his avid hiking habit—is dated November 2, and features him standing on the same stretch of track where he was killed a week later. The caption includes the hashtag #adventuretillwedie.
