GO Transit has resumed regular train service on its Stouffville line after a dump truck was struck by a train on Thursday morning.
The collision occurred on Kennedy Road between Carlton Road and Highway 7. Officers with York Regional Police were called to the area just after 8:30 a.m.
Police say the train hit the back of the dump truck. The driver was not injured.
A passenger on the affected train told CityNews a GO train hit the truck and that the train was honking non-stop before the collision.
Metrolinx said shuttle buses were brought in to transport riders to the next station to continue their trip.
During the police investigation, GO trains were not able to travel through the area. Regular service resumed just before noon.
“The police investigation near Centennial GO is now complete and trains have returned to regular service with residual delays,” reads an update from Metrolinx.
