The bodies of two Moroccans, aged 26 and 46, were found early Saturday morning along a railroad in the Brenner Pass between Italy and Austria, reports L’Adige.

Authorities found Austrian asylum applications on both Moroccans, as they had reportedly tried to reach Italy by foot, walking along the rails.

The tragedy would have taken place on Saturday around 6:30 am but the driver of the train would not have noticed having hit the two Moroccans, and it was the driver of the following train who saw their bodies at 7:30 am near Bagni di Brennero.

Help was quickly sent and a helicopter was called to the scene of the accident, requiring a temporary closure of rail traffic and the Brennero state road. At the scene, medical personnel, police officers, and the volunteer fire brigade of Sterzing and Colle Isarco arrived.
