Nyon, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – A man in his 40s has died after he was hit by a train arriving at the Plantaz station in Nyon, when he jumped onto the tracks to push his young daughter out of harm’s way, 5 November afternoon. He had come to pick up his two young daughters from school, and noticed too late that one of them had climbed down onto the tracks as  the Nyon-St.Cergue train was pulling into the station.

    I feel sorry for his family, God Bless

    Great man he didn’t think twice. This is a lesson to us all that we should respect our parents because they will do anything to protect us, and this is the prove.

    I wish his family the best and may God protect them.
