Teenager (17) dragged away by a train - dead
At a level crossing, the boy was swept away by train
Dresden - A corpse is covered on the tracks at Dresden-Kemnitz S-Bahn station (Dresden). A teen (17) was snatched by a locomotive behind the back of his best friend (16) and pulled into death...
The two young people were waiting for a train in the early Wednessday evening. Apparently they didn't notice, as around 17.15 clock a single locomotive drove through the breakpoint.
One thing is certain: The 17-year-old was hit by the locomotive and torn to death.
How exactly the accident could take place is still unclear. The investigators exclude a suicide or a crime.
Police spokesman Marko Laske (40): "The friend of the victim had not seen the incident. He stood with his back to the tracks. The [train]driver/operator could not be heard. He is still in shock."
The railway Dresden-Meissen was closed after the accident for two and a half hours. According to the Federal Police 28 trains (regional and freight) were late.
