CALGARY – Calgary police say charges have been laid after an 11-year-old boy was hit earlier this year by a light-rail train car.
Officers say the boy was walking in a marked crosswalk at Banff Trail Station in mid-April when the CTrain entered the station.
The pedestrian barriers weren’t down, and the train struck the boy, who was treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
They also said the driver of the train was arrested.
Police say the 60-year-old train operator has since been charged with dangerous operation causing bodily harm.
They say he is scheduled to appear in court in September.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 26, 2025.
Note to readers:This is a corrected story. A previous version stated the boy hit by the CTrain sustained life-threatening injuries.
