A woman is lucky to be alive after she was struck and "run over" by a train Monday night, police said.

The "heavily intoxicated" 46-year-old was trespassing on CN Rail property when she was hit near 1st Avenue and Dominion Street.

Prince George RCMP responded to the call at around 9 p.m. and the woman was sent to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police believe she lay down between the tracks.

"It is not yet clear how long she was there before a train approached," said Tuesday's release, which also reminded residents that railway tracks are dangerous and private property.
