Two 13-year-old boys, Raihan and Romli, were hit by a train in Tambun, Bekasi on Wednesday evening. Raihan died instantly whereas Romli is still suffering from serious injuries.
Tambun Police Chief Ali Zusron said the two boys were playing their mobile phones while sitting on the train tracks that evening. When they saw an oncoming train on the track they were sitting on, they jumped to the other train track, where another train also happened to be passing by, hitting them.
“We don’t know how they got on the train tracks, playing there in the evening,” said Ali, as quoted by Berita Satu yesterday.
Romli is still in intensive care at the Bekasi Regency Regional Hospital. His friend Raihan was buried by his family in a funeral yesterday.
