A 21-year-old man walked away relatively uninjured after flipping his car on the LRT tracks directly beside the Rundle LRT Station Sunday night.
Police say around 11:10 p.m., a man drove his Cavalier onto the southbound tracks from 26 Ave. N.E.; he travelled down the tracks for about 200 metres until he struck a pole, flipping the car on its roof.
The driver was taken to hospital as a precaution.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor, and charges are pending.
The tracks were shut down briefly and inspected by engineers.
