According to police sources, the tragedy occurred when a woman was attempting to cross the railway tracks with her child. Eyewitnesses say the child slipped from her grasp and fell onto the tracks just as the Gour Express was rapidly approaching the station.
In a desperate attempt to save them, a local fruit vendor standing nearby rushed to their aid. Unfortunately, before he could pull them to safety, the train hit all three individuals. None of them survived the impact.
The deceased have been identified, but their names are being withheld until families are notified.
