JAIPUR: A 53-year-old Dutch tourist was killed in Sawai Madhopur on Tuesday morning after he jumped off a Train he had mistakenly boarded.
Erik Johannes, a resident of the Netherlands, was rushed to the hospital where he was declared brought dead. His friend was also injured in the fatal jump, but was discharged after treatment.
According to GRP officials, the accident occurred at 8.45 am when Johannes and his friend unwittingly boarded a New Delhi-bound Janshatabdi Express.
The train had just left the railway station and was travelling at a relatively slow speed, when the duo decided to jump off. Erick fell on the ground near the railway yard.
“They thought they could jump out of the train since it was still speeding up. But Johannes fell on the ground and his head was smashed. There was little chance of his survival. He was taken to the hospital where he was declared dead on arrival,” said another GRP official.
Police have ruled out any foul play in the Dutch national‘s death. Source : timesofindia
