Passenger injures self on stationary train, facing potential grave harm
A 30-year-old man was injured in Munich on Sunday evening. The incident occurred at a marshalling yard, and the man received an electric shock while on a tank wagon.
According to the initial investigation, the overhead line may have been the source of the electric shock. The current jumped to the man while he was on the tank wagon, causing him to fall about four meters from the vehicle.
The man has second to third-degree burns on approximately 40 percent of his body, and he also has other severe injuries. He was attended to by a crisis intervention team, and his companions, who witnessed the incident, also received attention from the crisis intervention team.
It is currently being investigated whether the man directly touched the overhead line. No information is provided about the status of the man's companions.
The tank wagon is suspected to be involved in the electric shock incident. The investigation aims to determine the exact cause of the electric shock to provide a clear understanding of the accident.
The incident happened on a Sunday evening, and the search results do not provide any information about the two acquaintances of the man who climbed on a tanker truck in Munich and suffered severe injuries.
The authorities are urging caution when working near overhead lines and remind the public to exercise extreme caution when approaching parked trains or industrial vehicles.
