The events have occurred in Ciudad Real, where the young man has accessed the AVE tracks and has climbed onto the aerial power cables that transmit electrical energy to the locomotives.
As reported by the 112 emergency and emergency service, as well as the Local Police through social networks, the event took place at 11:15 p.m. this Thursday, in an area of the roads located in front of the Playa Park car park. .
Apparently, the young man, who is hospitalized in the Getafe Burn Unit (in Madrid), improperly accessed the AVE tracks and climbed up to the catenary, at which time he received a significant electric shock that caused him to fall to the ground wrapped in on fire.
The young man, who was conscious, was taken from an ICU to the Ciudad Real General University Hospital where he was initially treated for his burns, and was later transferred to the Getafe Burn Unit in Madrid.
