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.
