The woman was crossing 36th Street at Marlborough Drive N.E. at about 7:10 p.m. with a male companion Thursday when she was struck by a southbound train. Traffic officials said the crossing's warning system was active at the time, with the guards lowered, and the lights and bells all on to warn of an oncoming train. It is unclear at this time how the warning failed to prevent the collision.
Witnesses say the C-Train driver stepped on the brakes and blew the horn as he approached the intersection of 36th Street and 8th Avenue N. E., but the woman kept walking.
