A man was killed in a collision with a CP train in Salmon Arm early this morning.
RCMP, CP Police, BC Coroners Service and Salmon Arm Fire Department were called to the scene of the collision at the train tracks between Narcisse Road and Marine Park Drive in Salmon Arm early this morning, Jan. 31, according to an RCMP media release.
Police say a man was fatally struck by a train.
"Inexplicably the male did not leave the tracks as the train approached," the release says. "At that juncture the collision was unavoidable despite the efforts of the crew to stop the heavily laden locomotive."
The BC Coroners Service will be investigating the death as there were no signs of foul play.
