A schoolgirl died when she was hit by a freight train as she crossed railway tracks while listening to music.
The 15-year-old girl was thrown 60ft into the air after being struck by the oncoming train in Belarus, which she did not hear as she was 'listening to music on her headphones'.
The unnamed teenager was also 'reading messages on her smartphone' and did not see the oncoming locomotive, local media reports.
