A minor has died and another has been seriously injured this Thursday at the last minute after being hit by a freight train in the German city of Recklinghausen, in North Rhine-Westphalia, as reported by the German Police.

A ten-year-old boy has been seriously injured and another nine-year-old boy has suffered serious injuries and has been taken to the hospital at first, only to die shortly after, as detailed by the Police in statements to the DPA agency.
