18-year-old climbs onto train and suffers fatal electric shock. Accident occurred at Schwerte train station.
The young person was traveling with two friends. They remained physically unharmed. In January, a 15- year-old was injured in Hesse. He climbed onto a parked freight train and got too close to the overhead line. Warning signs on railway areas indicate that there is a danger to life in the vicinity of overhead lines, but accidents still occur again and again.
