Tragic accident in Itzehoe.
Two young men died after being electrocuted in the area of the station.
How could this happen? A group of young people got into the tank car parked at the station on Saturday night and got too close to the airlines. This resulted in a disruptive discharge of 15,000 volts. Two died and another was burned in the hand. A spokesman for the federal police said Sunday night.
According to the police spokesman, a large number of rescuers were on duty after the accident. The station was closed for about an hour and a half on Saturday night. 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 closer than 1.50 meters to the line with 15,000 volts, the current can jump to the body.
