Terrible incident on Saturday evening at Innsbruck freight station: a 30-year-old Tyrolean drunk climbed onto a freight car and received a life-threatening electric shock. His girlfriend of the same age then tried to pull him away and also got stuck in the circuit.
The fatal incident happened just after 11 p.m. According to the woman, the couple went for a walk after visiting the heavy-drinking bar at the main freight station in Innsbruck when the 30-year-old had the life-threatening idea of climbing onto a tanker.
“The man became trapped in the circuit of the 15 kV overhead line and received an electric shock,” the police said. Shocked, his companion got in. “When the woman tried to pull the man away, she also received an electric shock. As a result, both fell off the wagon onto the track bed,” the investigators continued.
