Brown Line train strikes cyclist at Rockwell?

Has anyone heard about a Brownline train hitting a bike rider at the intersection with Rockwell? 

I spoke with a number of people in the area and they say it happened yesterday but I havent been able to find anything from local news sources (just by googling).

 

They say the person was not killed, and an ambulance crew worked on him/her and then took the person away...

 

I expected at least a little blurb about it today but nothing. 

 

The people that live in the area say there is a cyclist they see frequently disregarding the flashing lights and gates for the train crossing.  I am curious who the person was...

Needless to say, don't jump the gates. Its the CTA, not a mile-long freight train.

It sounds like he will be okay though.

Regardless, don't jump the gates. Trains can't exactly swerve to avoid you.
