A 20-year-old woman is dead after being struck by a train as her younger sister and a friend looked on. The three women apparently ducked under a lowered railway crossing arm on Denison Rd. E. near Jane St. and Weston Rd. at about 11:30 p.m. last night.And... in a display of unintended cosmic irony...
The death comes at the end of Safe Crossing Week 2008, an initiative launched by Safe Kids Canada, a division of the Hospital for Sick Children.**********
According to Safe Kids, 84 children were killed in incidents involving trains last year.
