An unusual accident occurred in the municipality of Nopala de Villagrán, Hidalgo, in Mexico while a woman was trying to take a selfie.
The woman died after being hit by the ‘La Emperatriz’ train while trying to take a photograph.
In a video that is circulating on social networks, the moment in which the train, which was traveling at high speed, hit the woman who was near the track was recorded to capture the moment.
In the clip you can see the moment in which the piston hits the woman’s head hard and throws her to the ground.
After the terrible impact, a man approached to try to help the young woman, but she did not react.
Although they called the ambulance, it was learned that the woman died instantly.
The victim was identified as Dulce Alondra García, 28 years old. She graduated in business management engineering from the Higher Technological Institute of Huichapan.
“We raise a prayer for his eternal rest, so that his family finds comfort and strength,” said the Government of Huichapan after the incident.
Given the shocking accident, the authorities increased security measures to avoid this type of situation and also asked citizens to be more cautious and distance when trying to enjoy the passage of a train.
It should be noted that, after passing through the Mexican municipality, the Canadian Pacific locomotive continued on its way to Mexico City, arriving in Cuautitlán Izcalli shortly before 5:00 p.m. and is expected to arrive in Pantaco.
