A young man nearly 20 years old died on Thursday morning after being struck by a train in the commune of Tudor Vladimirescu, Galați County. The boy was on his way to work and was crossing the railway tracks, most likely without hearing the approaching train because he was wearing headphones and listening to music on his phone.

The accident occurred at around 7 a.m., in an area considered extremely dangerous by local residents. Several people live on the other side of the railway tracks and have no other access routes, while nearby are crosses marking the graves of people who died in similar accidents.

Criminal investigators and a medical team intervened at the scene. Rescuers tried to resuscitate him, but the victim could not be saved. The young man's father arrived at the scene of the tragedy.

Police have opened a criminal case for negligent homicide and will also determine whether the locomotive driver tried to warn him with the horn. The young man was tested for alcohol use, with a negative result. The investigation is ongoing.

Context: Seria recentă de incidente feroviare în România și Italia, cu victime lovite de tren

Înainte de acest caz din județul Galați, în România au mai fost raportate accidente în care persoane au fost lovite de tren. La București Nord, o persoană a fost rănită/afectată de trenul internațional IRN 472 (CFR Călători), iar autoritățile urmau să stabilească împrejurările. Tot în România, doi adolescenți au murit după ce motocicleta pe care se aflau a fost lovită de un tren în zona Haltei Vrabia (Harghita).

Un alt incident cu victime a avut loc în Galați: patru persoane, inclusiv un copil de 12 ani, au murit după ce autoutilitara lor a fost lovită de un tren de călători la o trecere la nivel fără bariere, în zona Gara Ghidigeni. Polițiștii au deschis dosar penal pentru ucidere din culpă, iar traficul feroviar a fost oprit temporar.

Și în Italia s-au înregistrat cazuri similare: poliția a investigat moartea unui tânăr de 21 de ani găsit lângă calea ferată în Falconara Marittima (Ancona), respectiv un român de 47 de ani lovit de un tren în Vittoria, aflat în stare critică la un spital din Catania.
