The teen was driving the tractor and pulling a trailer across a railway crossing near the 44500 block of South Sumas Road.
A young passenger was also riding on the tractor, but managed to jump clear before the train hit.

The passenger had minor injuries and was taken to Chilliwack General Hospital but later released.
The train involved in the collision was from Southern Railway of British Columbia and consisted of three engines and two cars hauling grain.
