(HURON COUNTY, ON) � The Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)has partnered with Genesee and Wyoming Railroad (GEXR) and Huron County Emergency Services to conduct a mock collision in the Municipality of Huron East this week.
On Thursday, May 15, 2025, from 08:00 a.m. until approximately 2:00 p.m., Kinburn Line from Huron Road (Hwy 8) to Front Road in Huron East will be closed for the training exercise. There will be an increased presence of various emergency response vehicles in the area and motorists are asked to avoid the area to allow for a safe training environment.
Railway crossing and trespassing incidents in Canada and the U.S. seriously injure or kill more than 2,100 people each year.
�Ignoring railway signs and signals, being distracted at rail stations or crossings, or using tracks as a shortcut or a recreational path can lead to track tragedies that are entirely preventable,� said Provincial Constable Craig Soldan of the Huron County OPP.
The OPP is encouraging people to avoid risky behaviours around tracks and trains, so they stay safe and stay alive.�
