A train passing through Depot Park struck a pedestrian just before noon Wednesday, causing a rush of emergency personnel to the area.

The woman, who was walking her dog in the area, did not suffer life threatening injuries but was transported by EMS to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill for medical treatment, according to Sanford police.

City government made a social media post about the train being stopped, but didn’t reference the struck pedestrian.
