The American press reports a curious case. During the crossing of the railway tracks, the 18-year-old teenager was so keen on typing SMS on the phone that he did not notice the locomotive riding on him. The case is just curious, not tragic, because the teenager still survived. I wonder how much you need to be immersed in your cell phone so as not to notice the huge composition? Probably, only representatives of a new generation of youth are capable of this.
Witnesses of the incident say that the young man did not take his eyes off his mobile phone and walked forward, not looking around. From the blow, he flew away for a dozen and a half meters, after which he was taken to the hospital in serious condition. “The locomotive was buzzing like a madman ... The only way to avoid the blow was if the train turned,” said the mayor of Elmwood Place, who arrived at the scene a few minutes later.
