One person was hospitalized after a crash involving a Valley Line Southeast LRT train and a semi Tuesday morning.
The collision happened at the intersection of 75 Street and Whitemud Drive just after 10 a.m. One person in the train was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) said the victim is an employee of TransEd, the company that operates the Valley Line Southeast LRT.
“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the people involved, as well as the other riders and staff involved in this incident,” ETS said in a written statement. “We appreciate the assistance of emergency responders who attended the scene. The City and TransEd are working together, along with the Edmonton Police Service as they investigate the incident.”
ETS confirms the statistics that since the Valley Line Southeast began operating in November of last year, there have been 18 crashes between a vehicle and a train.
