Police are still asking for anyone who may have witnessed a fatal collision between a pedestrian and a CN Rail train in 91原创 Wednesday to come forward.

The collision took place at about 4:29 p.m., on the tracks near where Duncan Way turns south into 204th Street, close to the 203rd Street Overpass.

The CN train was heading west at about 30 km/h on the north track, when the crew saw a man on the tracks, said Const. Prrabjit Chatha, a spokesperson for the 91原创 RCMP.

The crew sounded the train鈥檚 bells and whistles, but the man apparently remained unresponsive to the noise. The train went into emergency stop procedure. The engine of the train came to a stop a few dozen metres down the tracks west of the overpass.

The man died of his injuries at the scene.

91原创 RCMP, firefighters, and Emergency Health Services paramedics all responded to the incident, and an investigation is underway by the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Police, a policing agency that covers the CPKC railroad line and its property.

Anyone driving in the area around the time of the collision on Wednesday, May 22 is asked to review any dashcam footage they may have. Anyone who has information about the incident, or witnessed it, is asked to call the 91原创 RCMP at 604-532-3200.
