A train driver in Italy suffers a heart attack and becomes a hero in the last moments of his life. Because he was able to stop the train before his death, he was celebrated as a hero.

Antonio D'Acci drove trains through Italy for almost 40 years. The funeral will take place on Easter Monday at 10.30 a.m. in Termoli, after the body had to remain in hospital for a few days for examinations. The Chieti train station, which is closest to the scene of the accident, could be named after him.
