Victim of train accident sued by Polish railway for causing delay
 

Poland's state railway has been awarded compensation from a man who caused delays to the service by being run over by a train.

"We are acting in accordance with article 415 of the Civil Code, seeking damages from a person who caused delays in rail traffic - just like anywhere else in the world," said PKP railway spokesman Krzysztof Lancucki.

He said 19-year-old Pawel Banaszek, who was paralysed by the accident, caused 2058 zlotys ($810) worth of losses due to delays in service.

Half the amount was written off and Banaszek is paying the rest in 80-zloty monthly instalments from his 600-zloty disability pension.

omfg , can polish_aristocrat please shed some light on this ?

damn, that's a lot of zlotys!

WTF was the guy trying to commit suicide? or was it an accident? Jesus this calls for some Pollock jokes.

How many pollocks dose it take to stop a train?

one , but he will be billed afterwards :1orglaugh

One lesson here... poland sucks... too many potatos...

I think it was accident. Potatoes were bringed here from South America.

The paper said Banaszek, who was lying on the tracks when he was run over, had been beaten up in a fight outside a bar and left for dead on the rails.

But a local prosecutor told Reuters there was no conclusive evidence a fight had taken place.

I don`t know this situation, but if they wrote that he was kicked then it`s true.
