Teachable Moment: Railroad tracks are for trains, not pedestrians
 PARIS (AP) – A train hit and killed three people and seriously injured another person in south-western France on Tuesday morning. A local mayor said the victims were thought to be migrants who were resting on the tracks.The train was on a line that links the seaside resort town of Hendaye, on France’s border with Spain, and the city of Bordeaux, the national railway company SNCF said. The collision occurred at around 5:30 a.m., striking four people who were on the tracks, it said. The victims were thought to be migrants “who were sleeping or were lying … on the railway line,” said Eneko Aldana-Douat, mayor of Ciboure, near the crash site. He said it’s not unusual to see migrants in that region near the border. Posted by: Besoeker 2021-10-12 |
