CALGARY- A major incident at a northwest LRT station shut down part of the train line on Friday afternoon.
Emergency crews were called to the Sunnyside station just before 3 p.m. after a man was struck by a northbound train, trapping him underneath. Firefighters and EMS were brought in to help extricate him, using saws to remove the aluminum wheel guards.
As a result, there was no service in either direction for a period of time. Shuttles were been brought in to help move commuters.
Police say the man was taken to hospital in stable condition.
