Fatal accident at the level crossing in Welver: Two Ukrainians affected!

On the evening of February 26, 2025, at 9:41 p.m., a tragic accident occurred at the level crossing in the “Horsekamp” street in Welver (North Rhine-Westphalia). Two Ukrainians aged 19 and 22 presumably crossed the tracks despite closed half -barriers. They overlooked an approaching railcar. The 22-year-old man from Warstein was recorded, dragged over 100 meters and suffered fatal injuries. His 19-year-old companion desperately tried to withdraw his friend, but contracted a hand injury and suffered a shock, which is why he was taken to a nearby hospital, reported fireworld.at
