Video shows kids jumping from bridge while train runs past

Checkpoint - A podcast by RNZ - Mondays

Playing chicken with trains continues to plague the Waikato town of Ngāruawāhia. A new video on social media shows seven kids jumping from the rail bridge into the Waikato River just as a train engine barrels past them with its horn blarring. There are more trains now than ever before and yet kids continue to dice with death - despite two children dying after being struck by trains on the bridge. Ngāruawāhia Community Board chairperson Kiri Morgan speaks to Susana Leiataua.
