A TEENAGER was lucky to escape serious injury when he was clipped by a train at Springvale Station at 9.30am on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old was crossing at a pedestrian crossing when the 8.15am Traralgon to Melbourne V/Line train clipped his leg.
He suffered lower legs injuries and was taken to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition.
There were about 200 people on board the train, which was delayed at Springvale Station while police and paramedics attended.
