Police investigate early morning CTrain collision

We continue to investigate a fatal collision involving a CTrain and a pedestrian that took place early this morning at the Erlton/Stampede station.

At approximately 12:30 a.m. today, Friday, March 3, 2023, we were called to the Erlton/Stampede station for reports of a serious-injury collision between a pedestrian and a CTrain. Upon arrival, we located a man deceased.

It is believed that at the time of the collision, the pedestrian was crossing the tracks at the southern crossing, when it appears he slipped and fell. He was then struck by an inbound train and sustained fatal injuries. All crossing signs and lights were operating correctly at the time of the collision.

The death has been deemed non-criminal.
