Calgary police investigate after a pedestrian was hit by a CTrain at the Dalhousie Station on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023.
Calgary police say a pedestrian who was hit and killed by a CTrain on Tuesday morning appears to have fallen off the platform.
Officers were called to the Dalhousie LRT station in the 4000 block of Dalhousie Drive N.W. at around 8:45 a.m. for reports a pedestrian had been hit by the train.
EMS confirmed the man died at the scene.
