One man has been transported to hospital with potentially life threatening injuries following a collision with a CTrain early Tuesday afternoon.

Emergency crews responded to a location near the intersection of Memorial Drive and 36 Street Southeast shortly before 1:30 p.m. EMS officials confirm an adult male was transported to hospital in critical condition with life threatening injuries.

Blueline CTrain service was halted between the Franklin and Marlborough LRT stations in both directions but reopened at roughly 2:30 p.m. Calgary Transit deployed shuttle buses to ferry passengers between the stations during the closure.

#CTRiders #Blueline Trains are now running between Franklin and Rundle station. All trains at Marlborough station will be arriving on the Out-bound or Saddletowne Bound side of the platform. Thank for your patience. pic.twitter.com/pKwvBgDDSP
