Police said the man was found unconscious on the train tracks.

An elderly man has died after his mobility scooter fell off a train platform and onto the tracks in Adelaide's north-west this afternoon.

Police said they were called to the Osborne Railway Station just after 2:30pm, with officers finding the man and his mobility scooter on the tracks.

Paramedics treated the 82-year-old, who was unconscious, but police said the North Haven man died at the scene.

The man was not hit by a train, however Adelaide Metro confirmed the incident had affected the Outer Harbor Line.

Trains were not running between Midlunga and Outer Harbor following the incident but had resumed as of 5:45pm.

Police said there were no suspicious circumstances and a report would be prepared for the coroner.
