Graduation day turned into a day of grief for the family and friends of a teen struck by a train in northwest Calgary on Tuesday afternoon. The 17-year-old died after he was hit by a CPKC train in the community of Bowness.

“It was all just a stupid mistake,” Sunny, the victim’s friend, told Global News.

Sunny and the victim, both of whom Global News is not identifying out of respect for the family, said he was part of a group of teens celebrating their upcoming high school graduation. They had gathered at the Bow River, when three of them broke away from the group. What happened next will haunt him, he said.

“They just wanted to cross the bridge. They didn’t see the train coming,” he added. “We started yelling at them: ‘The train is coming!’ And two of them ran away.”

“He (victim) got his foot caught. He fell. The train hit him.”
