Man dies after being hit by train

A man is dead after being struck by a train in Chilliwack just after 11pm Friday night.

RCMP Sgt. Dave Eidet says investigators are looking into the situation, but it’s believed the man tried to beat the train.

“The coroner, CN police and RCMP are working together to investigate this matter.”

Eidet says it’s never a good idea to try and beat a train whether you’re on foot or in the car.
