In a horrific accident, a Saudi citizen had a tragic death after saving his wife and two kids in a train crash in Austria on Wednesday. The citizen’s 4-year-old son also died in the accident when a train collided with his car that got stuck on the track while attempting to cross the rail crossing.
The grisly incident occurred at Eiger Crossing in the city of St. Johann in Tyrol in the Austrian district of Kitzbühel. The train was heading from Kitzbühel to St. Johann. The tragic news was first revealed by Muhammad Al-Sharif, a Saudi relative of the deceased citizen.
