A 13-year-old boy killed after
being hit by a train at Soverano, near Catanzaro in Calabria, on
Wednesday was not trying to take a selfie on the tracks with the
locomotive in the background, railway police said Thursday,
denying earlier reports.
Two of the boy's friends, who fled the scene after the
accident and were unhurt, "ruled out that they were taking
selfies," said POLFER agent Barbara Caccia.
The dead boy was named as Leandro Celia.
It is not clear how Celia died.
