First responders were called to Metrotown Tuesday for a woman who reportedly jumped from the SkyTrain station and landed on a glass awning above a bus stop.
Emergency crews were called shortly after 12 p.m., according to Metro Vancouver Transit Police spokesperson Sgt. Amanda Steed.
By the time the fire department arrived, the woman was lying on a glass awning beneath the SkyTrain station, and firefighters were able to lower her to the ground with a ladder truck, according to assistant fire Chief Darcy Robinson.
Police shut down eastbound traffic on Central Boulevard during the incident, and bus stops on Central Boulevard were closed to buses and pedestrian traffic.
The woman's condition is not known, but she is expected to survive her injuries, according to Steed.
She said no foul play is suspected.
