Calgary police were called to the Franklin LRT station Thursday morning after a collision involving a CTrain and a pedestrian.
Police told Global News the crash occurred around 4:23 a.m. A CTrain was travelling west and approaching the Franklin LRT station when it struck a pedestrian along the inbound tracks.
The pedestrian was walking east along the tracks before he was hit, police said.
CPS said the pedestrian sustained serious injuries and was transported to hospital in critical condition. Officers are trying to identify him and would not confirm his age.
