Two teenage brothers have been killed by a train in southern Germany as they rushed to catch their connection.
The pair, aged 13 and 17, were hit as they ran across the tracks at the station in Bruckberg, north east of Munich, police said.
The barriers were down when they attempted to cross the rails.
They were trying to make their own train, which was already at the platform, officers told the Deutsche Presse-Agentur news agency.
An oncoming Munich-bound train tried to brake but was unable to stop in time.
A number of people, including children, witnessed the accident which took place on Tuesday morning.
Crisis teams were sent to the scene to provide counselling, police said.
