Kubang Pasu district police chief Supt Abd Rahim Abdullah said in the 4.30pm mishap, the victim, Mohd Afendy Aziz, was trying to cross the railway tracks to go to a shop.

“Due to the impact, parts of his body were scattered about a kilometre. The train stopped for a while after the incident but since there were passengers on board, the train continued its journey. The victim’s house was next to the railway tracks,” he said in a statement here today.

The case is being investigated as sudden death. The body was sent to the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital mortuary.

Meanwhile, KTMB corporate communications manager Siti Badariah Wan Hanafi said the train was en route from Padang Besar to KL Sentral.

The train was delayed by 30 minutes due to the accident, she said.
