PSA: Look both ways before you cross the train tracks




A woman has died after she was hit by a train in Melbourne’s south this morning. The 49-year-old victim had ducked under a railway boom gate and was clipped by a city-bound train at Aspendale railway station just before 8.20am. A police spokeswoman said it appeared the woman had stopped at the railway crossing, between Station Street and the Nepean Highway, and waited for a Frankston-bound train to pass. When that train had gone through, she ducked under the boom gate, not realising there was another train coming from the opposite direction.
