Man hit by train while listening to tracks
A Romanian man has been hit by a train while apparently putting his ear against the tracks to hear if one was coming.
Witnesses say 46-year-old Vasile Alexa was expecting a train which was supposed to stop at the station in Prahova County.
He was hit by an express train which wasn't scheduled to stop.
He died instantly of serious head injuries, reports the Libertatea newspaper.
