CHILLIWACK, B.C. — A death at a British Columbia railway crossing is under investigation after reports say a scooter got stuck on the tracks late Saturday afternoon.
Transportation Safety Board spokeswoman Julie Leroux says an investigator headed to Chilliwack following the incident, in which she says reports indicate there was a collision with a scooter that became stuck at the crossing.
RCMP Insp. Vishal Mathura says the scooter stopped just before the crossing, then proceeded forward until it stopped again between the rails.
Vishal says the lights activated and the arms came down, and people nearby realized the person on the scooter was in trouble and tried to help.
