Train kills teen in Port Credit

The section of track in Port Credit where a 17-year-old girl was hit and killed by a GO Train is a regular hangout for teens, says an area resident.

Heather Britton, 34, lives across the street from where the teenage female was struck on Tuesday.

She was walking along a section of track, just east of the Port Credit GO station in Mississauga’s Hurontario St.-Lakeshore Rd. E area.

“People crossing the tracks ... it happens on a regular basis, especially with teenagers, because they’re just not thinking,” said Britton. “I don’t know how she didn’t hear the train coming, unless she had earphones in.”
