Police in Langley are investigating after a pedestrian was struck and killed by a train Thursday morning in the Metro Vancouver region.

According to the RCMP, the collision occurred shortly before 8 a.m. near the intersection of Glover Road and Billy Brown Road, an area that includes rail lines used for both freight and passenger traffic. Emergency crews responded quickly and attempted life-saving measures, but the individual was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities have not released the identity of the victim or details about how the incident occurred. Investigators remained in the area for several hours, resulting in temporary road closures and traffic disruptions in the surrounding neighbourhood.

Rail safety incidents remain a concern across the Lower Mainland, particularly in communities where rail corridors intersect with busy roads and pedestrian routes. Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or may have relevant information to contact Langley RCMP.
