A 14-year-old apparently involuntarily traveled around 70 kilometers on a freight train in Baden-Württemberg - and injured herself when jumping.
The federal police announced that the girl and a 15-year-old friend climbed onto a stationary freight train at a train station in Ettlingen on Tuesday.
When this suddenly started moving, only the girlfriend was able to jump off in time.
Girl jumps off after 70 kilometers
The 14-year-old missed the moment to take off and then had to wait around 70 kilometers on the moving train until it slowed down near Offenburg.
The 14-year-old then jumped from the wagon.
The girl suffered abrasions all over her body and a laceration on her head.
According to the police, she managed to dial the emergency number herself.
Police and ambulance services found the girl and took her to a hospital.
