Passengers horrified as French train pulls into station with cyclist's body stuck to front

The 48-year-old cyclist was hit by the high-speed TGV train in Petit-Croix and carried 25 miles to Mulhouse, near the Swiss and German borders.

The cyclist's body was stuck on the front of the high-speed train, outside the driver's vision.

Train passengers waiting to board at a French station were left stunned when a locomotive pulled in to the platform with a dead body stuck to its front.

A 48-year-old cyclist, who has not been named, was reportedly struck by the high-speed TGV train on a level crossing in Petit-Croix, near Belfort, on Sunday.

But his corpse wasn't discovered until the train, which can travel at 200mph, stopped some 25 miles later at the next station in Mulhouse.

"The body was found, stuck to the front right of the train, out of the driver's vision," a spokesman for national rail firm SNCF told The Local.

It's not yet clear if the man's death was accidental or whether he intended to commit suicide.
But his bicycle was later found at the level crossing.

Cops are now investigating the tragic incident, according to The Local.
