A 17-year-old Filipino girl died after being struck by a train in Monza, Italy, on Saturday.
According to a Rome-based news outlet, the teenager succumbed to her injuries at San Gerardo Hospital after being hit at the Greco-Pirelli station in Milan by the Trenord regional train '25081,' which was traveling from Chiasso to Porta Garibaldi station.
“According to reports, the young girl was crossing the tracks on a scooter with her parents when the train struck her. The incident occurred at 10:15 PM,” the report stated.
On Sunday, the Philippine Consulate General in Milan, in a statement, expressed its condolences and called on the Filipino community in the country to offer prayers for their fellow Filipino.
The tragedy comes a week after another Filipino, 61-year-old domestic worker Angelito Manansala from Batangas, was found dead on 20 April.
Authorities said Manansala was discovered in his employer’s apartment along Via Randaccio, suggesting he may have been strangled by a 28-year-old Gambian man who allegedly broke into the home of Manansala's employer.
A memorial mass for Manansala was held by the Consulate General on 27 April.
