Writer SMS'ok shot down a train

The American press reports a curious case. During the transition of railway tracks, an 18-year-old teenager was so keen on dialing an SMS on his phone that he did not notice the locomotive riding on him. The case is curious, not tragic, because the teenager still survived. I wonder how much you need to be immersed in your mobile phone so as not to notice the huge composition? Probably, only representatives of the new generation of young people are capable of this.

Witnesses of the incident say that the young man did not take his eyes off his mobile phone and went forward, not looking around. From the blow, he flew away to a half dozen meters, after which he was taken to hospital in serious condition. “The locomotive was buzzing like crazy ... The only way to avoid a blow was if the train turned,” said the mayor of the town of Elmwood Place, who arrived at the scene in a few minutes.
