I'm stuck on the train as it appears there's a medical emergency. Anyone know what is happening there? Our driver said the 7 ave sw is closed.

It will be closed for some time still. Shuttles have been put in place.

Calgary Transit‏@calgarytransit5mWe are experiencing significant delays on CTrain lines due to a CPS matter that has closed service to the downtown core. *TW

I would guess someone jumped, fell or was pushed in front of a train. Sounds like it'll be a while before regular service resumes.

I heard some guy jumped in front of the train and they had it closed for 2 hours to clean up all the blood.

Man jumped in front of a train in an apparent suicide attempt. He survived and was taken to hospital.

I heard he was traded to the Flames.

In all seriousness, it's good to hear he survived. Almost every train story I've heard about over the last year involved fatalities.

I should say he initially survived...unsure how serious the injury was or if he's still alive in hospital.
