Pedestrian fatally struck by LRT

The man was walking on the Ion tracks about 125 metres north of Columbia Street at about 4:50 a.m. when he was struck by the southbound train, say police.

So it sounds like someone made the poor choice to walk down the tracks instead of the trail next to the tracks, I'm guessing with headphones on, and by the time the driver saw him it was too late (it would have still been dark that early).
