A Vermont police sergeant was watching a YouTube video about a transgender woman confronting conservative podcaster Matt Walsh seconds before he fatally hit a cyclist in November 2024, a court filing revealed.
Kyle Kapitanski, 41, was driving approximately 40 mph in a 35 mph zone in South Burlington when he struck and killed Sean Hayes, 38. Kapitanski continued driving after striking Hayes before he turned around and returned to the scene. He later claimed the victim, who was on a bicycle and towing a trailer, "came out of nowhere."
