Young throws himself on the tracks, his father tries to save him: the train arrives and overwhelms them

Tragedy in the Senigallia station, in the province of Ancona , where a 63-year-old man and his 26- year-old son were overwhelmed by a moving train .

According to the first reconstructions, the young man got off the tracks after a quarrel with his parents : his father then tried to save him , but a freight train suddenly arrived and hit them and killed them both.

It happened yesterday evening around 9pm.

The railway police heard several people informed of the facts , including the mother and the drivers of the freight train, coming from Bologna, who could not avoid the impact.

According to information gathered by the police, there had been a quarrel between the parents and the 26-year-old, struggling with psychological problems , perhaps due to an unanswered request from the young man. At that point the boy would have fled and his father would have chased him to prevent any rash acts; the 26-year-old would have climbed over the railroad fence entering the line and his father would have enough to reach him to stop him, not realizing that the train that overwhelmed both of them was on its way.

The railway line (the train is under seizure) remained suspended in the Senigallia-Marotta section for over three hours; the south track was reactivated before one o'clock and after a couple of hours traffic resumed regularly.
