Edmonton Transit confirmed there was a “track-level incident” at the Churchill LRT Station at around 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday and police said the event left a young man with life-threatening injuries.
Fire Rescue Services said they arrived on scene at 3:50 p.m. to reports of someone being trapped under a train.
Police said EMS treated the young man and took him to hospital where he remained at 4:45 p.m.
Edmonton Transit said early indications suggest the incident is non-criminal and police confirmed that. EPS will not be investigating further.
Six fire crews responded, along with EMS and police.
Edmonton Transit said Churchill LRT Station was shut down for the EPS investigation, “so there will be significant ETS delays in the downtown core.”
