Exciting, but lethal picture
(Google Translated from Dutch local paper Algemeen Dagblad):
"Man in accident (20) tried to take "exciting picture" of his new car at the level crossing"
The man who died at the Dutch village of Glimmen, Groningen on Sunday in a collision between the car in which he was sitting and a train, was busy taking an "exciting picture" on the track. The police are investigating this.
The Dagblad van het Noorden reported earlier today, based on witnesses, that the 20-year-old victim from the municipality of Midden-Groningen photographed his new car at the level crossing with an approaching train in the background. Then, when he wanted to drive away, he wasn't able to start the car. After trying to push the car off the track, his girlfriend got away on time, the victim didn't. Photos show a badly damaged car.
A police spokeswoman says she takes all scenarios into account. “We talk to witnesses and this story is certainly being investigated. But it is still too premature, the investigation is in full swing and we are not going to speculate about the circumstances. ”
A witness tells in Dagblad van het Noorden that she heard a bang while eating: “My daughter and son-in-law went to have a look, but came back very quickly. It was too awful. So young. And then it ends like this. Very much for the next of kin. ""
The collision took place on Sunday around 6 p.m. at a level crossing at Oude Schoolweg. No one on the train was injured. The train passengers were evacuated by buses. The train traffic between Assen and Groningen was halted for a large part of the evening.
