Man killed lying on train tracks
Police suspect alcohol may have been a factor in the death of
William Hubert
MATER, 23.
By Amanda ROBINSON, Sun Media, Tues., July 31, 2007
The city and Canadian Pacific don't have any plans to improve
pedestrian safety at a downtown railway crossing near where a
23-year-old man was struck and killed by a train on the weekend.
"We have no reason to think that this level crossing is any different
than any other crossing, Dave
LECKIE, the city's director of
roads and transportation, said yesterday.
"Unless we hear differently from the police report, we have no
plans for pedestrian improvement," said
LECKIE.
Police identified the man killed as William Hubert
MATER from
Ridgeway, near Fort Erie.
MATER was a recent graduate in kinesiology from the University
of Western Ontario, said Ann Hutchinson, a spokesperson for University
of Western Ontario.
MATER was lying on the tracks about 2: 30 a.m. Sunday when he
was struck and killed by the train, said CP spokesperson Breanne
Feigel.
He wasn't at a pedestrian crossing, but on the tracks in between
St. George and the Talbot underpass, said Feigel.
"They (train crew) put on their emergency brakes and used their
whistle… but it's not easy to stop a train from moving," she
said.
She says accidents such as Sunday's highlight the need for greater
awareness about the dangers of trains.
LECKIE said there haven't been problems with pedestrians at the
St. George and Piccadilly Street crossing, but there have been
with vehicles.
In the last three years, there've been four collisions there.
Those tracks are the only train crossing in the city without
gates, so drivers often try to run the crossing to avoid stopping
for trains.
In March the city, with Transport Canada and CP, decided to install
gates at the track next year.
Brad SCRINKO, co-chair of the Richmond Row Business Association,
called the accident "tragic."
"We would be happier if the train tracks were routed around the
city," said
SCRINKO.
At the train crossing on Richmond Street east of St. George,
a bar hotspot, the city plans to install pedestrian gates --
that may look like mini-road gates -- because of the large number
of people that hang around that area.
The city is in discussion with CP to finalize the design, said
LECKIE.
Police suspect alcohol may have been a factor in
MATER's death.
"When people drink, there is already a responsibility that the
bar has to take. But what people do outside of the bars they
have to take responsibility for,"
SCRINKO said.
Often, pedestrians put themselves at risk when they jump between
the cars of stopped trains, he said.
On his page on Facebook, a social-networking site on the Internet,
MATER was listed as working at The Beer Store in London.
He planned to go back to school in September to take a few courses,
he wrote on a friend's Facebook page.
