At night, two people got into a carriage at the Itzehoe train station (Steinburg district) and were electrocuted. Another person was slightly injured with burns to his hand, according to the Federal Police.

According to the information, the group had gotten into tank cars parked at the station late at night around 10:30 p.m. The current jumped from the airline to her. After the accident, according to the police spokesman, many rescuers were on duty. According to information from NDR Schleswig-Holstein, the first emergency calls said that a tank car would burn. But that was not confirmed. The station was closed for about an hour and a half after the accident. According to Deutsche Bahn, there were significant delays.

The identity of the dead and injured was initially unclear. The Federal Police repeatedly point out that electric shocks can also occur if you don’t touch the airline. If you get within 1.50 meters of the line with 15,000 volts, the current can jump to the body.
