Calgary police briefly closed 7 Avenue SW downtown after a person was hit by a CTrain Thursday morning.

EMS tells CityNews paramedics were called to the intersection of 7 Avenue and 6 Street SW around 10:30 a.m., where they found one adult who had been hit by an LRT.

That person was taken to Foothills Medical Centre in stable, non-life threatening condition, according to EMS.

As a result, trains weren’t running on 7 Avenue SW between 5 Street SW and 6 Street SW for just under 40 minutes. Riders were advised to transfer to shuttle buses.
