GO Train Collision Fatality Near Guelph Leads to Kitchener Line Suspension

A tragic incident involving a GO train east of Guelph Central GO station has resulted in a fatality. The accident occurred around 6:30 a.m. and has led to a temporary suspension of services on the Kitchener line.

Details of the Incident

A spokesperson from Metrolinx confirmed that the person was struck by the train. The collision happened in a section of track that only allows for single-line operation. This configuration is significantly affecting the duration and extent of the service disruption.
