Only three days after a train accident in Upper Austria, in which a six-year-old was killed in Eferding, another child was hit by a train at a railway crossing in Ottensheim (district of Urfahr-Umgebung) on Thursday afternoon.

The six-year-old succumbed to his injuries in the hospital shortly thereafter, the police announced in the evening.

The boy had crossed an unguarded railway crossing with a light signal on his bicycle just as a train was coming from the right and hit the child. The father was immediately behind his son with a bicycle and trailer, along with the younger sister, and could not prevent a collision. The six-year-old suffered severe injuries and was taken to the hospital by the emergency doctor, where he died. Both the relatives and the train driver suffered severe shock and were cared for by the crisis intervention team.
