Train traffic was temporarily halted on Tuesday after a woman was hit by a GO Train at Long Branch GO Station.
Just like some Long Branch residents were predicting.
A local woman is suffering injuries after being hit by a GO Train at the Long Branch GO Station at 8:17 a.m. on September 17.
Toronto Police said the woman was transported to hospital in serious condition.
“Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident,” the force said in a release.
Witnesses said the woman appeared to be in her 40s and was taking the train to work.
Area residents have long complained about the lengthy construction taking place at Long Branch Station waking people up at night.
She was apparently helped by some medical workers waiting to board, who may have saved her life.
Metrolinx said train service was shut for a few hours in the area until an investigation was completed.
As of 9 a.m., trains were delayed or stopped from Niagara Falls through to Long Branch.
The injured woman was hospitalized in serious condition.
Area residents have complained it was just a matter of time before someone was injured at Long Branch Station due to the congested traffic, little parking and overnight construction to complete a new station and facilities.
Residents have said they cannot sleep at night due to the construction noise and bright lights.
