Zehdenick: Tragic accident while collecting mushrooms – 84-year-old dead!
On Thursday morning, a tragic accident occurred in Zehdenick, Brandenburg, when an 84-year-old mushroom picker was hit by the train and fatally injured. The incident occurred in a forested area near federal highway 109 in the Vogelsang district when the woman crossed the railway tracks without noticing the approaching train. The person accompanying them was taken to a clinic to be examined, while the passengers on the regional train fortunately remained uninjured and were then picked up. The police have already started an investigation, but believe it was an accident. The railway tracks and the B109 have now been reopened, reports rbb24.
The popularity of mushroom picking as a popular pastime, especially in rural areas, cannot be overemphasized. However, this activity near railway tracks carries risks that are often underestimated. Similar past incidents suggest that inattention when crossing tracks can have serious consequences.
Background of the incident
Mushroom picking is very popular in the Brandenburg region, especially during the autumn season. Many people use nature to be active and collect fresh mushrooms for their kitchen. Still, it's important to be aware of the dangers associated with crossing train tracks. This tragic case could serve as a cautionary tale to raise awareness among mushroom pickers and other nature lovers about safety precautions.
A network to promote outdoor activities is also being increasingly established in other regions. This is how it was done, for example USASporting.org brought into being. This is a forum for activities such as hunting, fishing and shooting, aimed at nature lovers and intended to promote exchange between users. The initiator is asking for support to activate additional forums for other states and invites the community to take action to make the topics engaging.
The accident in Zehdenick is not just an isolated incident, but is part of a list of incidents that should pay more attention to the safety of users of leisure activities. Responsible behavior and increased vigilance can potentially reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
