Peterborough police say a man on a motorized scooter suffered minor injuries after being “clipped” by a train on Sunday.
Emergency crews were called to the scene around 1:20 p.m. near the Holiday Inn.
A witness claimed the train conductor was sounding the horn before crossing George Street to warn the public of the approaching train and said the man was attempting to cross the tracks closer to the bridge when he got stuck and was struck.
Peterborough paramedics treated the man on scene for his injuries before taking him to hospital. Police said the victim was a man in his 80s. The investigation is now under CP Rail.
