The GO Transit platform where a woman was struck by an express train on Tuesday has been partially closed for several months due to construction at the station, causing crowding during rush hour.
Toronto police said the 46-year-old woman was walking near the edge of the platform at Long Branch GO Station when she was hit by an express train bypassing the station at around 8:15 a.m. She was rushed to hospital in life-threatening condition. No update on her condition was available Wednesday.
