A woman was rushed to the hospital following an incident on the train tracks in Toronto’s west end on Sunday, police say.

It happened at a grade-level train crossing on Old Weston Road.

Toronto police said they were called to that area just before 1:30 p.m. after receiving a call for a cyclist who was injured after falling off their bicycle on the train tracks.

An officer at the scene was observed removing an e-scooter from the area.
