Woman suffers life-threatening injuries after being struck by Eglinton Crosstown LRT test train
A woman is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after being struck by an Eglinton Crosstown LRT train during a test run in Scarborough on Saturday, police say. Officers responded to the area near Pharmacy Avenue and Eglinton Avenue E. around 1 p.m. after reports that a pedestrian had been struck by an LRT vehicle, Toronto police said in a post on X. The train was on a test run for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT at the time, police confirmed in an email to CBC Toronto. A 64-year-old woman was taken to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries, Acting Insp. Brian Maslowski with the Toronto Police Service said. The woman was on the raised portion of the LRT line on Eglinton Avenue just west of Pharmacy Avenue while a westbound LRT vehicle was conducting tests, he said. She then crossed the path of the moving LRT and was struck by the front of the train, he said. The woman was alone at the time, he said. The driver of the train honked the horn and tried to slow down the vehicle, Maslowski said. He said the driver "is being looked after … [and is] getting all the supports that he requires." Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has dashcam footage is asked to contact police. In an email to CBC Toronto, a spokesperson for Metrolinx said the provincial transit agency is working with the TTC and emergency services to investigate the incident. Further questions should be directed to Toronto police, the agency said. "Our thoughts are with all impacted by this event and we thank emergency responders for their quick response," the spokesperson said. Police and TTC staff were at the scene on Saturday afternoon. CBC Toronto has reached out to the TTC for comment.

64-year-old woman seriously injured after being struck by LRT in Scarborough
A woman has been seriously injured after being struck by an Eglinton Crosstown LRT vehicle in Scarborough on Saturday afternoon. A 64-year-old woman is in life-threatening condition after being struck by an Eglinton Crosstown LRT vehicle during testing in Scarborough on Saturday afternoon. It happened on the raised platform along the centre of Eglinton Avenue East, west of Pharmacy Avenue. Police said the call came in just before 1 p.m. Acting Insp. Brian Maslowski told reporters that the woman was standing on the platform when, for some unknown reason, she crossed the path of the westbound LRT vehicle that was conducting tests. Paramedics initially told CP24 the woman was rushed to a trauma centre with serious, possibly life-threatening injuries. LRT collision Police are on the scene of a collision involving an Eglinton Crosstown LRT vehicle in Scarborough on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2025. (CP24) Maslowski said police were told the driver of the LRT tried his 'best to warn this pedestrian, but unfortunately it did not end well.' He added that initial information suggests the driver honked the horn and slowed the train. 'We're looking at everything,' Maslowski said when asked if speed was a factor. 'It's far too early to tell. All the data is going to be gathered up.' Maslowski said traffic investigators are currently gathering evidence, including video from the LRT and nearby businesses, to determine what transpired. He urged pedestrians, especially those along the LRT line, to cross the street at designated areas. 'Also at any time, please be aware of your surroundings. And many times, mostly always, it's good to limit any distractions such as your phone or whatnot,' Maslowski said.

As this matter is under investigation, we would refer you to Toronto Police Services for further details,' the transit agency said. Meanwhile, Metrolinx, in a statement, said it is working with TTC and emergency services to investigate the details of the incident.
