According to the police, the 17-year-old passed the tracks on his way home from a party. He was probably hit by a train there. Despite injuries, the young man dragged himself to his parents’ house, where his mother found him.
According to initial findings, a young person was hit by a train near Reichertshofen (district of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm) and seriously injured. He then dragged himself about a kilometer home and collapsed in front of his parents’ house, where his mother later found him, the police said on Monday. The 17-year-old was taken to a clinic by rescue helicopter and had emergency surgery. His life is not in danger, the police said.
Initial investigations indicate that the youth had entered the railway tracks on the route between Ingolstadt and Munich early on Sunday morning on the way home from a party and was hit by a train. More details about the exact course of the accident are unclear, said a police spokesman. However, traces of blood were found on the tracks that match the injuries to the young person. A train driver has not yet reported to the police.
