A woman in her 20s has died in hospital Monday morning after being struck by a C-Train.
The accident occurred during the rush hour just before 8 a.m., south of the Whitehorn LRT station.
Stuart Brideaux, with Calgary EMS, said the commuter was rushed to Foothills Medical Centre in critical and life-threatening condition, but later succumbed to her injuries. She has not yet been identified and there are no other details at this time.
Northbound C-Trains were shut down at 32nd Avenue for several hours, but the line is expected to be running as normal shortly. Shuttle buses have been ferrying passengers to stops north of 32nd Avenue.
Calgary Transit officials said in September they would launch an investigation into a spate of recent LRT-related deaths.
Five people have now been killed by C-Trains within the past three months, at least two of which were believed to be suicides.
