A tragedy occurred at the Swarzędz train station a few minutes past midnight. A freight train struck two teenagers, with a 14-year-old boy losing his life at the scene, and a 14-year-old girl sustaining serious injuries and being transported to the hospital.

Updates indicate that the boy lost his life while attempting to rescue his female friend from an oncoming train. The boy, reportedly from Ukraine, and the girl, a Polish citizen, were involved. The circumstances of the incident are still under investigation, but there is no indication of the involvement of third parties at this time. It appears to have been either a tragic accident or a deliberate action by the teenagers.

The police have secured surveillance footage and interviewed witnesses to determine the exact sequence of events. The two children were not siblings and hailed from different districts.

This is a tragic event in which one young boy lost his life while attempting to save his friend, and the other teenage girl fights for her life in the hospital after losing her hand and sustaining other injuries. Investigators continue to work on uncovering all the details surrounding this dramatic incident.
