A 30-year-old man was hit by a train this weekend in Port Moody.
Port Moody Police said first responders were called to the train tracks Saturday around 10 am near Klahanie Drive and Murray Street for a report of a man who had been struck by a train while walking along the railway.
The pedestrian is a man in his 30s, and police said he suffered what appear to be “serious but non-life-threatening injuries.” He was transported to the hospital by paramedics.
“The train was reportedly reversing when the pedestrian was struck,” police told Daily Hive. “This part of the railway is common area for pedestrians to frequent and this incident is a good reminder to stay away from the tracks given the inherent risks.”
The department added that the incident is believed to be accidental.
The Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. (CPKC) police have taken over the investigation.
