Sunbathing teens were hit by a freight train

File this one under "Ouch, that's gotta hurt."

An engineer tried to stop the freight train, but it wasn't in time, as it struck two girls who were apparently sunbathing.

Police Chief Mark McGowan in Milton, N.H., says the engineer sounded the horn and tried to stop but the train struck the 13- and 14-year-old girls late Wednesday morning. McGowan tells Foster's Daily Democrat the girls were sunning themselves on the tracks and may have fallen asleep.

Sadly, both girls suffered injuries which required amputation.
