Collateral damage after bizarre suicide at train station in Israel

Google translate: "An unusual accident at the train station: A man in his 30s was killed Monday morning at the Beit Yehoshua train station after he jumped into the tracks and was hit by a passing train. From the impact he was thrown onto the platform and hit two other passengers waiting for the train. One of them was evacuated in a mild to moderate condition to the hospital.



"A man who broke into the tracks at the Beit Yehoshua station was apparently hit by a passing train, and the passengers were not injured," the statement said.



Traces of the incident were closed to train traffic and security and rescue teams of the Israel Railways, the Israel Police and MDA are in place, and the train traffic to the south ends at the Tel Aviv Savidor station and from the north at the Netanya station.



"When we arrived at the scene, it was shocking in the square on the platform. A man in the 30s was lying with a very severe systemic injury. He had no signs of life and we had to determine his death on the spot," said paramedic Orian Lukac, who was called to treat the wounded. Another man of about 46, who was waiting at the platform, was hit by the man who was hit by the train and flew over. He was fully conscious and suffered bruises on his head and limbs. We gave him medical treatment and evacuated him to the hospital when his condition was moderate and stable. "
