Train kills motor cyclist at crossing

NINH BINH — A 49-year-old man was killed by a train yesterday in the northern province of Ninh Binh.

The man intentionally rode his motorbike across the tracks, despite warning sirens, a witness said.

There have been several accidents involving trains, due to a lack of barriers and signal poles, Nguyen Van Vung, a local resident said, adding that local people hoped authorities would install barriers and warning sirens soon to ensure safety. .— VNS
