Woman charged with impaired driving after vehicle hit by train at Toronto GO station

Toronto police say a woman has been arrested for impaired driving after she allegedly drove her car onto the tracks of a west-end GO station and got hit by a train.

The collision happened just after 10 p.m. Wednesday near the Etobicoke North GO station, on Kipling Avenue, just north of Highway 409, according to Toronto police.

The 19-year-old driver was arrested with minor injuries and a male passenger who was also in the car was not injured, police say.

Paramedics say they transported one patient to hospital with serious injuries. 

Police tell CBC Toronto there are no reported injuries to any of the train’s passengers.

After the collision Toronto Fire says they assisted people off the train. Some passengers were taken to a GO bus, while others arranged for their own ride to the airport.

Train service was temporarily delayed on the UP Express and the GO Kitchener line, but the track reopened Wednesday around 11:30 p.m , Metrolinx says.
