A 49-year old man is dead after being struck by a CTrain Sunday night in the city’s northeast.
The roadway was closed for at least two hours while police investigated.
It happened just before 7:30 p.m.
Duty Inspector Phil Hoetger says the man was walking across the southbound lanes of 36 Street near the Whitehorn station, with two others, when he was hit.
Police believe the victim was under the influence of alcohol.
“It appears that the lights and the bells were working at the time,” Hoetger said. “No charges are anticipated.”
No one else was hurt, but one of the passengers on the train was checked out by paramedics on scene.
