The bicyclist killed by a Metra train on Monday morning was 33 year old Juan Cordero, a resident of Hanover Park, according to The Daily Herald. Mr. Cordero's mother informed authorities that her son was riding his bike to work at a nearby Denny's restaurant when he was struck by the eastbound train at the Hanover Park rail station.
The cause of the incident is not clear and is under investigation. The train's engineer reports that he saw Mr. Cordero riding eastbound ahead of the locomotive before the collision.
