Villajoyosa Tragedy
At around 4am a man died near Villajoyosa after being hit by a train.
It seems that the man was walking along a railway track between the stops for Villajoyosa hospital and Finestrat,when the train hit him.The train was travelling from Alicante to Denia.
The accident happened about 400 metres from the hospitalin an area where the track is fenced off and closed ,although there is thought to be enough space to avoid being hit by a train.The reality is that all adults should know that it is a pretty dangerous thing to be walking along a railway track at any time of the day or night.Authorities cannot be responsible for the stupidity or the drunken state of adults.Children who are brought up near railway lines should be taught from a very early age that they stay away from such places .Those who choose to ignore parental warnings have to live or die because of the consequences.
The dead man ,who is thought to be in his thirties ,has not yet been identified.
