BROSSARD – A 19-year-old man has died after being struck by a light-rail train on Montreal’s South Shore.

Provincial police say the accident happened around 3 a.m. Saturday, when three young men were walking along the tracks near the train’s Du Quartier station in Brossard.

Police say they had been attempting to cross to the other side of Highway 10 when the accident happened.

The young man was declared dead at the scene. 

The two others were rushed to hospital in critical condition, with a 22-year-old having possibly life-threatening injuries. 

The train operator, the Réseau express métropolitain, says service remains closed between the station and its Brossard terminal in the meantime.
