The accident took place Saturday on the rail road crossing where there was no bar to stop the car although the video of the accident shows the red lights flashing. The boys had just moved out of the parking lot of a local Nepali grocery store, still munching on the spicy mix of chatpate‘, according to a witness at the store.
The soccer-loving boys had earlier spent the day watching European football game that was played between Barcelona and Eibar.
