GO Train service has been halted on a stretch of the Lakeshore West line after a person was fatally struck in the area, Metrolinx says.
The provincial transit agency confirmed the fatality in a statement Wednesday.
Metrolinx says the person was hit by a GO Train between Long Branch GO and Port Credit GO stations, west of the Long Branch GO station, and there is now no service on the Lakeshore West line in that area.
"Trains cannot move through the area until a full investigation is completed," GO Transit said on its website. "There will be significant delays, modifications and possible cancellations."
Train service will operate between Long Branch and Union Station stations.
Metrolinx said train service will also operate between Port Credit GO and stations West, up to Niagara, with bus shuttles running between Port Credit and Long Branch stations.
On its website, GO Transit says westbound trains will end at Long Branch GO and eastbound trains will end at Port Credit GO.
Peel Regional Police said the person was struck by a train in the area of Alexandra Avenue and Fourth Street in Mississauga. Officers were called to the scene at about 2:45 p.m. and there is now a large police presence in the area.
Fourth Street is closed from Ogden to Alexandra Avenues, while Alexandra Avenue is closed from Fourth Street to Lakeshore Road E.
