Terrible accident in Oberhausen: Children suffer electric shock on the track!

A threatening incident occurred on Monday evening, October 7th, in Oberhausen, when two children played on a railway area near a food discounter at Osterfelde station. What initially looked like a harmless leisure activity ended in a terrible accident. The children came too close to the tracks, which was caused by the Oberhausen fire brigade afterwards.

around 6 p.m. there should have been a dramatic incident: a suspected electricity rollover on the tracks hit both children. According to the estimates of a fire brigade spokeswoman, one of the children was not older than 12 years and suffered serious injuries. Despite the serious location, the children managed to get to the platform independently, where they were waiting for help. A first aider reacted immediately and provided first aid until the rescue workers arrived.

The first -time medical care by the emergency doctor was crucial. The seriously injured child was immediately flown to a specialist clinic with a rescue helicopter in order to be treated comprehensively there. Fortunately, the second child was unharmed, but two colleagues from emergency pastoral care took care and later gave it into the care of family members.

The dramatic events led to the railway line closed for train traffic throughout the entire operation. The police have now started the investigation into the exact course of the accident to clarify how this dangerous incident could occur. The circumstances behind the electricity rollover have so far been unclear and could raise far -reaching security questions, especially with regard to playing areas near train tracks.

Details about this incident are still sparse, but the current developments are still being reported. For more information about this event, See the current reporting at www.derwesten.de .
