Accidents occur every day, some with catastrophic consequences, and video surveillance cameras have captured several of them, as happened in Nuevo León, when a woman was hit by a train.
The recording of the fatal accident – which occurred in the municipality of Escobedo – was broadcast on social networksin it you see a woman walking on the train tracks, in the same direction as the railroad that passes through there, when suddenly the machinery appears.
In a matter of seconds, the train moves forward and runs over the woman, who remains underneath it, in front of the eyes of some motorists who are waiting for the traffic light to change to continue on their way.
Moments after the brutal accident, the emergency services were alerted to the incident, so they went to the scene, but they could do nothing for the woman, who was declared dead at the scene.
The thin line between life and death was crossed in seconds by a young woman, who apparently, because she was walking on the road with headphones connected to her cell phone, did not notice the approach of a freight train, which ran over and killed her in Escobedo, Nuevo León, according to captured by surveillance camera. pic.twitter.com/YuJOUvwO4p
