One person was struck by a GO train, near the Kitchener station, on Wednesday morning.

The Waterloo Regional Police Service has confirmed that the person has since died.

They also added that no further information will be shared about the incident.

The collision caused the cancellation of at least one GO train trip between Kitchener and Toronto’s Union Station.

In an email to CTV News, Metrolinx said the GO train from Union Station to Kitchener would end at Georgetown GO and riders could continue their journey on a GO bus shuttle. A GO bus shuttle travelling westbound would also make all station stops between Georgetown to Kitchener.

They also provided the following information for travellers:

• For those boarding from Georgetown GO, buses boarded from the bus stop on the north side of the station, between Church St. and Mill Street, next to the parking lot. 
• For those boarding from Acton GO, buses boarded from Eastern St., between Church St. and Mill St., next to the parking lot. 
• For those boarding from Guelph Central GO, buses boarded from the bus loop next to the station building.
