Illegal individuals found on railway tracks - Federal authorities issue safety alerts due to potential risks

In an incident reported by the Federal Police Inspectorate Offenburg on Tuesday, three Bulgarian nationals were found near the Kehl train station in Germany. The individuals, aged 24, 27, and 32, were discovered in the track area during the early morning hours of May 27th.

The location of the incident, Kehl, is known for its busy train traffic. Trains in this area travel at speeds exceeding 160 kilometers per hour, making it crucial for individuals to stay clear of the tracks. Unfortunately, trespassing in the track area poses significant danger to life, as trains have a long braking distance and cannot avoid obstacles in the track area.

Upon finding the individuals, the Federal Police explained the associated dangers of trespassing in the track area. The two women and the man were informed about the offense and the potential risks involved. No further action was reported to have been taken by the Federal Police at the time of the incident.

Sadly, incidents like these have resulted in fatalities in the past due to carelessness while trespassing in the track area. The Federal Police Inspectorate Offenburg urges everyone to respect the safety regulations and stay away from the tracks.

A shortcut across the tracks can lead to a shortening of one's own life, so it is essential to prioritise safety and avoid trespassing in the track area.
