I would expect it's a similar situation to a lot of the near misses they have shown with people either not looking before crossing or running last minute and mistiming it. Someone was going to get horribly unlucky sooner or later and that's probably what's happened here.

The police and government will know the exact circumstances as the light rail runs cameras and will have footage of the accident. Unlike the near miss videos though I would not expect to see this video - it would be rather poor form for them to release it.

Hops and hooves was on at Thoroughbred park yesterday. Potential he was on his way back from that too.
