Montreal police’s Constable Raphaël Bergeron confirmed in a statement on Wednesday afternoon that the 30-year-old female victim remained in critical condition, whose legs had to be cut off after she hit a freight train in the Old Port. The accident occurred when the women was attempting to cross a rail track occupied by a temporarily immobile train, when it suddenly jerked into motion at 1:45 a.m.
Earlier at 6:15 a.m., Constable Danny Richer confirmed that the victim was “still in surgery.” He explained that the woman was among a group of “three or four (people) — it’s unclear” who were attempting to cross the track when their path was blocked by the train. The train was previously stopped at a pedestrian crossing, near Bonsecours St. adjacent to the Clock Tower Quay. Richer elucidated that while the woman was climbing across, “she lost her footing and fell onto the track” at the same time when the train jolted to a start. Richer stated that even though investigators were still attempting to find out the cause of accident, they have already discovered that “she had been in a bar. She had been drinking.”
Meanwhile a Canadian National spokesperson, Louis-Antoine Paquin, reported in Montreal that “it was a CN train.” He revealed that the control of train was handed over to a crew operating a Port of Montreal locomotive. A spokesperson of Port of Montreal, Yves Gilson, added that the port crew was breaking up the 7,800-foot-long train up, section by section, while the train was part of a regular cargo run from Toronto loaded with merchandise to be trans-shipped through the port.
