Lying on railroad tracks not health

2014 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Hi, i'm not good at writing stories, but here is the corrected (google) translated article:

In ROTTERDAM, a train crash in Rotterdam Zuid station last night had two men killed. A witness stated to this newspaper that one of the two men was lying on purpose on the railroad tracks when the train was approaching at full speed.

Police confirm that it is one of the scenarios. "Several witnesses say they saw two men climbing off the platform and lie on the track." said spokeswoman Lillian Duijvenbode.

Last night, police was searching the crimescene, and did not want to exclude a crime or suicide.

The accident took place yesterday around 18:00, a half hour after the association football-match Feyenoord Ajax at De Kuip, one kilometer away. On the platform Feyenoord fans stood among other travelers.

Suddenly one of them, the 47-year-old Hans from The Hague, saw something strange happen. "I saw that someone was lying between the rails, with his arms at his sides. A second person was with him in his vincinity, on the edge of the platform. It looked like some kind of stunt. As if they wanted to show how close they dared to come. "At the train together"1

Seconds later, Hans realized that something terrible was about to happen. "I heard the train honk very hard. I saw it happen and could do nothing. " He turns his head away. "If you do not mind, I do not want to go into too deeply. I'd rather not see it. "

The oncoming train braked yet, but hit the two unknown persons immediately.

In the train, which came from Dordrecht, were at that time 300 passengers.

The police were ready within a few minutes, thanks to agents who were still in the Cockpit for the match. Also, ambulances and even an ambulance were quickly on the spot. Both victims deceased on the track.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
Thanks for the submission, but there's not enough information as to the motive. Was it a stunt or suicide? Whatever the case, this sort of thing happens with alarming frequency!
