A first-year student from St. Petersburg State University of Civil Engineering died under a train during an unofficial trip

The initiation trip for students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of St. Petersburg State University of Civil Engineering, which took place last weekend, turned into a tragedy. This is reported by 78.ru.

According to the source, the event took place on the night of September 27 near the village of Lembolovo - at the base of the Pioneer camp. The trip was unofficial: it was organized by the faculty students and adapters themselves.

According to the TV channel, the freshman did not survive the accident. At about one o'clock in the morning he left the camp and was hit by an electric train on the railway tracks. According to preliminary data, the young man was very drunk, walking along the tracks with his back to the approaching train, wearing headphones.

At the same time, alcohol was prohibited on the road, and participants were repeatedly warned about this. The student probably arrived at the camp already in a state of intoxication.

As the source noted, the departure was an annual tradition. After the incident, the adapters who invited first-year students were informed that from October 1, the project of the Student Council of SPbGASU would completely suspend work. They were advised not to interact with first-year students, leave general chats, not hold informal meetings and not talk about what happened.
