Police can confirm a person has died at a rail crossing near Sturges Road Train Station this afternoon.
Police were notified at about 2.55pm, after a train struck a pedestrian near Mt Lebanon Lane.
“Sadly, I can confirm a woman was pronounced deceased at the scene,” Acting Inspector Warwick Stainton, Auckland Shift Commander, says.
“This is understandably a terrible incident for everyone involved and we are working to notify the next of kin.”
A cordon is expected to remain in place until this evening.
