On Tuesday, France authorities reviled that three immigrants have been killed and one seriously injured as a train hit them in southwestern France.

They were lying on the tracks when they were struck and killed by train in a coastal town near Biarritz early Tuesday, according to the French authorities' story.

A French official confirmed the three immigrants were standing on the tracks when they were struck, but it is unclear how long they were on the tracks before the train arrived.

In a statement, the mayor of Ciboure Eneko Aldana-Douat emphasized the area was well-known as a transit route for migrants. Also in the same regard, he claimed that the three unknown immigrants "were sleeping or lying" on the tracks.

In response to the horrific accident, the French prosecutor ordered an urgent investigation to ascertain the cause of the incident.
