In the Vysokogorsky district of Tatarstan, a girl was hit by an electric train.

She was reportedly wearing headphones and talking on the phone. Noticing the approaching train, she decided not to wait for the transport to pass and ran through the railway crossing. As a result of her injuries, the girl died on the spot.

Relatives of the deceased were found on social networks. The brother of a 27-year-old native of the village of Chulpanovo, Nurlat District, and her aunt arrived at the scene of the tragedy.

She was on her phone saying "Train is coming, Moscow, bye."

I'm reminded of this George Carlin quote. Not American but same sentiment applies.

"This item demonstrates how stupid the average American is. Every ninety minutes someone in this country is hit by a train. A train, okay? Trains are on tracks; they can't come and get you. They can't surprise you when you step off a curb. You have to go to them. Got that?"

Q: what's the difference between Russian trains and Mexican cars?

A: one of them stops when it hits you

That was just fucking dumb!
