A thrill-seeking teenage boy was struck in the chest by a 25,ooo-volt electrical arc that set fire to his clothes and sent him flying back onto the tracks after he climbed onto a Belarus freight train.

He was rushed to hospital with 60 percent burns and other injuries. He appears to have died 3 days later, according to some British media reports.
