Fatal accident in Zürich Stadelhofen.

[M. Hardy-Randall]

At 2 am today 27-06-09, a young man tried to gain access to a train that had started to move out of platform 1 of the station towards Zürich main station. Although the doors of the train were closed and locked, he continued to run alongside the train and attempted to open a door. However, it all went horribly wrong when he lost his footing and was pulled down under the departing train. Staff were unable to help him.
