A drunken man aged 66 fell asleep on the railway and woke up with the train above him. Eufalia Negreata, coordinating doctor at the Chisinau Emergency Service, has told Info-Prim Neo that on July 14 at about 20.00, the engineer of the Saint Petersburg – Chisinau train noticed a man on the railroad near Visterniceni Train Station. He stopped the train and saw the man continuing to sleep under one of the first carriages. The man was fortunate as he did not lie on the rails but along them.
