A 61-year-old man struck by a light rail vehicle in Canberra on August 12 will not be fined and criminal charges will not be laid.
An ACT Policing spokeswoman said the investigation had been finalised.
It is understood the man crossed against the lights at the intersection of Barry Drive and Northbourne Avenue. He was taken to hospital in a serious condition with head and chest injuries. The light rail driver underwent counselling.
The Sunday Canberra Times understands the man has since been released from hospital, but Canberra Health Services would not provide a formal update.
The incident happened on the first day of Rail Safety Week, which ran from August 12 to 18 in an effort to increase light rail safety awareness in Canberra.
The week's message was "Pay attention - it's everyone's responsibility", and one of the key points of education was to stop and look both ways before you cross.
In the days following the incident, police undertook a blitz on jaywalkers at the same intersection. On Tuesday August 13 and Wednesday August 14, about 30 people were fined $151 each for crossing the road against the lights.
At the time, police said the blitz was planned to coincide with Rail Safety Week and was not brought on by the tram collision.
The 61-year-old man is the second to be hit by a light rail vehicle in Canberra. The first incident in March occurred during testing of the light rail before it had begun operation. That man stepped out in front of the tram against a red signal while wearing headphones.
