MONTREAL, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Police in Montreal say three men hit and killed by a train were trespassing on private property in an area they call "very dangerous".
The three were killed early Sunday morning as they walked along the tracks on land owned by the Ministere du Transport Quebec, Postmedia News reported.
"It's a very dangerous area," Montreal police Constable Anie Lemieux said. "It's hard to hear trains coming in. No one is supposed to be there because it is private property".
Two of the men were pronounced dead at the scene and another died in the hospital.
Two other men involved were treated for shock, police said.
Police say they believe the men, reportedly between the ages of 17 and 20, were in the area intending to paint graffiti.
