13 y/o Presley Trent and 18 y/o Samuel Rivas were HORRIFICALLY KILLED after they were struck by an AMTRAK TRAIN while taking a popular "shortcut" along the tracks!!

They were killed in Chester, Virginia by a train travelling from Georgia to New York as the accident happened before 5pm

Locals said they saw people walking on the tracks all the time since it's a popular shortcut but never heard something like this happening..

Police said they were with a group of people standing on the tracks when they were hit. Family said Presley was with 3 other friends using the tracks to get to softball practice

The teens were waiting for a freight train to pass in one direction but diddn't hear or see the train approaching on the opposite..

First responders arrived but they were instantly killed as their remains were "NOT IDENTIFIABLE" because of the force of the train that hit them at the speed it was going...

Video shows a passenger on board the train to attempt to tell someone of the teens on the tracks but it was too late.

Samuel was in the JROTC program at Clover Hill High School as he wanted to join the Marines..

Presley was in 7th grade who was a softball player at Elizabet David Middle School

David Lowman, a local said the situation is heartbreaking and tragic because young people cross that train path all the time..

Amtrak says 2000 people are killed or injured in grade crossing every year..

Have you ever crossed the train tracks to get to a destination before?

Presley and Samuel - Deceased

There are likely plenty of bridges but, as the story notes, this is a shortcut.

I mean a bridge right where the shortcut is. So, they can cross even when I train is there. Like around where they were hit. That's probably the area where most cross for the shortcut.

Damn, poor kids-- they should have known better but I still can't help but feel bad for them. Hope they find peace in the afterlife.

No, I always go around. That might add a few thousand miles to my trip to the supermarket, but safety first.

Fair, next.
I always use crossings when crossing roads and tracks and if that isn't a option I'm VERY careful when crossing. It annoys my bro and dad at times when I take a while to cross but I value my life more than being quicker.

I think they did... But other train(the one that hit them) was probably blocked from view by the other train that just passed...

Then that isnt looking both ways correctly. The point of looking both ways is to make sure everything is cleary and that there is absolutley no danger at all. Those kids failed at that

Given how many other shortcuts are likely along the way, I'm not sure how feasible of a suggestion that is. And, in general, "popular shortcut" is vague. There might not be that much foot traffic and, even if a bridge is put in, people might still cross somewhere further along rather than walk to it.
