We don’t get good train stories very often anymore, but here’s one. It’s obviously not good for everyone, but you know.
A pensioner was killed in a freak accident when he was struck by a flying cow launched 100ft into the air by an express train.
Shivdayal Sharma, 82, was reportedly urinating next to a train track in the region of Alwar, India, when the incident occurred on April 19.
It’s thought the animal was hit by the Vande Bharat express train before landing on Mr Sharma.
Another man in the area narrowly escaped being caught by the flying animal carcass.
Predictably, there are calls for tighter regulations and safety standards in the area. Perhaps not quite as predictably, the main goal appears to be controlling the number of cows shambling around out there. Hanging a leak on the tracks though? Just fine, apparently.
