A devastating incident at Carlton Railway Station in Sydney has left the community in shock. A stroller carrying twin daughters rolled onto the train tracks, and their father, in a heroic act, jumped onto the tracks to save them. Tragically, he and one of the twins lost their lives.
The family, who had recently moved to Australia from India, was on a routine outing when the stroller accidentally rolled onto the tracks. Security footage captured the moments leading up to the tragedy, showing the father and mother with their daughters.
As the train approached, the father selflessly leaped onto the tracks, trying to rescue his daughters. His bravery has been widely praised by police and the community. Superintendent Paul Dunstan said, “He went into parent mode and tried to save his two young daughters… it cost him his life.”
The surviving twin was rescued from underneath the train, unharmed. The mother, who witnessed the incident, is receiving support and counseling. The community is rallying around the family, offering condolences and assistance.
The incident is under investigation, with preliminary findings suggesting a gust of wind may have contributed to the stroller rolling onto the tracks. The National Rail Safety Regulator has been informed, and a detailed investigation is underway.
This tragic event has had a profound impact on the local community, particularly the Indian community, who are offering support to the grieving family. Our thoughts are with the family and all those affected by this heartbreaking incident.
