TRESPASSERS risked their lives when they climbed over a railway security fence between Crick and Kilsby.
Police are looking for witnesses after people scaled a fence on the Crick and Kilsby bridleway at around 1am on Thursday, July 5.
Local officers and British Transport Police are warning of the potentially fatal dangers of trespassing on railways.
A spokesperson for the campaign ‘You vs Train’ said: “Hundreds of people each year unintentionally take on the railway and lose. The railway is full of hidden dangers. If you are not hit by an unexpected train, you’ll be hit by the lethal current in rails and power lines.
“You will be killed or left with catastrophic, life-changing injuries. And your friends and family will be left with the brutal consequences. Everyone loses when you underestimate this opponent. Everyone loses when you step on the track.”
The campaign features real-life stories including a short, hard-hitting film about a teenager whose life was changed forever after going onto a railway. Visit www.youvstrain.co.uk for more information.
