Personal trainer killed by train making YouTube video
Quote:
A well-regarded personal trainer was struck and killed by a freight train in Buckhead on Tuesday afternoon. The 30-year-old Travis Williams, who went by the name of Achilles Williams, was making a video for his YouTube channel at the time of the accident.
He and a friend were near the train tracks over Roxboro Road near East Paces Ferry. Williams was being filmed jumping rope near the train tracks. According to investigators, he was not on the tracks but apparently miscalculated the width of an oncoming train by the span of the tracks. He was hit by the freight train as it passed by. His friend was not harmed but was knocked down by the impact.
Although a tragedy why was he so close to train tracks? Could he not just stop while the train passed by? Yes it's sad, but it was a mistake he made that could've been avoided.
