“Her mobile phone flew over the bar”: eyewitnesses saw how a girl (14) was distracted by her mobile phone and headphones before she was grabbed by a train

A 14-year-old girl from Schoten was seriously injured this afternoon after she was hit by a train at a level crossing in Kapellen. According to witnesses, the victim was distracted by her cell phone and was wearing headphones, which may have caused her not to notice the approaching danger from the passing train. “I saw her first and alerted the emergency services.”
