A woman has been killed after being struck by a train on the railway line at Broughty Ferry.

The identity of the victim has not yet been released.

It was initially believed a man had been killed but British Transport Police later confirmed the victim was a woman in her 40s.

ScotRail said trains would be delayed until at least 4pm on Wednesday as a result of the collision.

Roads in Broughty Ferry were closed to traffic in the immediate aftermath of the incident.

The area around the level crossing on Gray Street was taped off by police but it is believed the woman was struck on the line close to one of the platforms at the station.

Witnesses said police arrived on the scene around 11.15am.

A British Transport Police statement said: “Shortly after 11am on Wednesday, 22 June officers from BTP were called to the railway line near Broughty Ferry station following reports a person was struck by a train.

“Officers attended alongside Police Scotland and Scottish Ambulance Service and a person was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Officers are now working to identify the person and inform their family.

“There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and a full report will be submitted to the local Procurator Fiscal.”

A man died after being struck by a train on the level crossing at Broughty Ferry railway station in May.
