The dump truck driver involved in the March 7 accident that killed a Norfolk Southern conductor pleaded not guilty in Cleveland Municipal Court Thursday morning. Ryan Hundley appeared in court to be arraigned for vehicular manslaughter. Hundley’s bond was set at $10,000.
According to the police report, Hundley was pulling through the railroad crossing with no flashing lights or railroad gates after stopping at a stop sign when the collision happened. Police say conductor Louis Shuster was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the area was dimly lit and the direction the truck was traveling obstructed Hundley’s view due to the placement of the cab on the dump truck. There were no lights indicating the train was traveling in reverse, officials say.
The incident occurred at the crossing of East 49th Street and Superior Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. Norfolk Southern train was involved in the deadly collision.
