Two migrants believed to be trying to reach the UK from Calais in France have been killed over the past two days, reports BBC News.
One person died overnight after being hit by a freight train at the Channel Tunnel's Coquelles terminal, according to Eurotunnel.
On Thursday a migrant, believed to be Syrian, died after being hit by a car on a motorway close to the tunnel.
Their deaths bring to 16 the number of people killed in or near the tunnel trying to get to the UK since June.
Emergency services have not yet been able to identify the latest victim's age or sex because of the severity of their injuries.
Eurotunnel said: "Once again it is a very regrettable accident but it shows yet again the serious risks that are involved in trying to cross the Channel illegally.
"The driver of the train has now been taken into the psychological support system that Eurotunnel operates for this kind of incident and the police will be looking after all other aspects."
