A spokesperson with CP Rail says none of their crew was injured.
The OPP has closed Snow Valley Road between County Road 53 and Black Creek Trail.
It’s unclear when the road will reopen.

IIRC the crossing has lights but no barriers. A double airlift sounds bad but hopefully a full recovery.

GWS!

I am assuming that he tried to rush the rail crossing, can't think of any other way to hit a train. Ride safe everyone!
