Officers have issued an urgent safety warning after two teenagers were electrocuted in separate incidents on the railway in Scotland this past weekend. The tragic accidents, which occurred on Saturday, July 29, and Sunday, July 30, have raised concerns about the risks associated with trespassing on railway tracks.
The first incident involved a 14-year-old boy who climbed onto the top of a stationary freight train between Carfin and Holytown. Tragically, the teenager reached out and touched the overhead line, resulting in a serious electrocution. He was rushed to the hospital, where his injuries are believed to be life-changing, and he remains in a serious condition.
