Russia (bbabo.net), - In St. Petersburg, a six-year-old boy was hit by a commuter train. The child died in the hospital.

According to the North-Western transport prosecutor's office, the tragedy occurred on February 11 at 17.52 on the 16th kilometer of the Lakhta-Novaya village railway line. According to preliminary data, the boy crossed the tracks in front of the moving suburban train No. 6084 in a place not intended for crossing. The prosecutor's office emphasizes that the driver did everything possible to avoid the collision (he honked loudly, applied emergency braking), but the collision did occur. The doctors were unable to save the child's life.

Now the St. Petersburg Transport Prosecutor's Office is conducting an investigation into the incident. Based on the results, an assessment will be given to the actions of all those who are somehow involved in the emergency, and if there are grounds, measures will be taken. The case is under personal control of the North-Western transport prosecutor Vladimir Vladimirov.
