One person is dead after being struck by a GO train near the Danforth GO station on Saturday evening.

Metrolinx spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins confirmed that the death occurred “just west of Danforth GO station,” at around 6:30 p.m., and said that the interim plan was to “off-load all of the trains stuck in the corridor.”

Trains will not be able to move through the area until around 8:30 p.m.

The train involved in the collision is stuck, according to Marie Aikins, and will have to stay put until the coroner and police are finished investigating.

Toronto police were unable to provide any description of the individual struck or how the incident unfolded.
