Greek authorities say two people believed to be migrants who crossed the border from Turkey illegally have been killed, after being hit by a passenger train in northeastern Greece.
Police said Monday the two men were hit in the Evros border region by a train traveling between the city of Alexandroupolis and Dikaia on Sunday night. Their nationalities were not disclosed.
A police official said the two men had been walking along the tracks when they were hit. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, as an investigation was ongoing, said the train driver told authorities he didn’t see the two until the train hit them.
