Police investigate fatal collision involving a CTrain

The Calgary Police Service Traffic Unit continues to investigate a collision that resulted in the death of a woman yesterday morning.

On Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024, at approximately 7 a.m., we were called for reports of a collision on the inbound track about 100 metres east of the Bridgeland/Memorial CTrain station.

At the time, a female pedestrian, approximately 25-to-35 years old, may have been attempting to cross the median at that location, when she entered the path of a westbound CTrain, operated by a 58-year-old male.

The pedestrian sustained significant trauma to the head and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The CTrain operator was uninjured in the collision.

Speed or impairment are not considered to be factors in this collision.

We continue to investigate the circumstances that led to the collision and ask anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who may have dashcam footage of the incident to contact police by calling 403-266-1234.  Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers through any of the following methods:
