Calgary police say charges laid after 11-year-old boy hit by transit train

Calgary police say charges have been laid after an 11-year-old boy was hit earlier this year by a light-rail train car.

Officers say the boy was walking in a marked crosswalk at Banff Trail Station in mid-April when the CTrain entered the station.

The pedestrian barriers weren't down, and the train struck the boy, who was treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

They also said the driver of the train was arrested.

Police say the 60-year-old train operator has since been charged with dangerous operation causing bodily harm.

They say he is scheduled to appear in court in September.
