A couple having sex on railway tracks in Ukraine were hit by a train which killed the woman and tore the legs off the man.

The couple was reported to have left a friend's home in the very early hours on Saturday. They were believed to have been drinking and were probably still intoxicated as they strolled home.

The 41-year-old man who survived the ordeal said that he and his girlfriend were so overcome with their passion for each other that they had to stop to express their love, on the train tracks. This all took place somewhere in Zaporizhzhya, a city in southeastern Ukraine, situated on the banks of the Dnieper River.

Now this act was very spontaneous and romantic, what with the buzz, the cool air of early morning, the warm light of dawn peeking through the dark, night sky. But in the end, it was not a wise move, as a switcher locomotive was destined to cross this same stretch of track at exactly the same time. The train ran them right over the couple whilst they were in the throes of lust, killing the woman in her lover's arms while simultaneously tearing off both of his legs.

Details are still unclear as to why the train conductor failed to stop before smearing the middle-aged lovers all over the iron. The couple's names have not been released and while we know that the man was 41-years-old, the woman's age has only been described as 30-something. Apart from knowing that the man lost his legs in the tragedy, the state of his health otherwise, has not been reported.
