Dead End: Train Crushes Couple Having Sex

Tuesday September 23, 2008
Cat Eating

Talk about going out with a bang.

Two South Africans were run over and killed while making love on a railroad track in Mpualanga Provence, ignoring shouts from the train's engineer, who saw them too late to stop.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene, and the woman died several hours later at a local hospital, according to South Africa's Beeld newspaper.

At the time of publication, the bodies had yet to be identified and relatives had not stepped forward to help with the investigation.

This much is clear: If neither of them heard the train, just imagine how great the sex must've been.
