A pedestrian was reported deceased following a train-related incident in Belleville early this morning.
Emergency crews responded to the area of South John Street and St. Paul Street at approximately 7:50 a.m. after reports that an individual had been struck by a train.
Belleville Police, fire services, and Hastings-Quinte Paramedics attended the scene.
The incident resulted in significant traffic disruptions, with a train blocking multiple railway crossings.
The closures affected routes from Haig Road to South Front Street.
Belleville Police asked the public to avoid the affected crossings and use alternate routes while crews remained in the area.
Police indicated that the investigation is ongoing, and an increased police presence can be expected throughout the day.
This marks the 6th train-related incident in approximately 13 months within the area.
Regardless of the circumstances, the frequency of these incidents is concerning. As pedestrian traffic continues to increase near active rail lines, safety must remain a priority. Measures to protect both residents and visitors should be considered by officials when planning future routes in high-traffic areas.
Our thoughts remain with everyone impacted, including the individual involved, their family, the train crew, and the first responders who continue to respond to these difficult situations.
The community stands together in mourning and support for all those impacted by this tragic situation.
