Halton Police say a teen riding his bike is lucky to be alive after he was almost hit by a passing train.
Police were called to the Main and Guelph streets area of Acton around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday after receiving reports of a young cyclist who may have been hit by a train.
Officers and the K-9 unit searched the tracks and the area behind Robert Little Public School, but didn’t find anyone.
Police later confirmed that a young man riding a bike was narrowly missed by a passing train — so close it knocked him off his bike. Luckily, he was not injured.
