Guelph Police is investigating after a pedestrian was struck and killed by a GO train in Guelph.

Officers said the incident happened Tuesday afternoon at around 3 p.m., saying “a person was fatally struck by a train near the Guelph Central GO Station.”

When those emergency services arrived, they said the individual had suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

“At this time, no further details about the victim are being released until officers are able to notify their family,” said Guelph Police in a statement.
