One person was killed on Tuesday after being hit by a CTrain near the Somerset–Bridlewood Station.
Calgary police said the pedestrian — a man who was approximately 40 years old — was hit just north of the LRT station at around 4 a.m.
“We’re just in preliminary stages of our investigation,” Sgt. Steve Campbell told Global News.
Campbell said the area where the pedestrian was hit is surrounded by fences with no crosswalks nearby.
He said police are in the process of going through CCTV footage from the Somerset–Bridlewood CTrain platform, and are hoping it may give them more information about what happened.
The incident prompted Calgary Transit to close the station for much of Tuesday morning.
Shuttle buses were brought in to transport people between the Somerset–Bridlewood and Fish Creek–Lacombe stations.
The Somerset–Bridlewood Station reopened shortly after 10:30 a.m.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to call the Calgary Police Service’s non-emergency line at 403-266-1234.
