Juarez City.- The woman who was hit by the train was of Nicaraguan origin and was traveling with her 11-year-old son, in addition to other relatives.
A witness to the event named Carlos reported that the woman, between 45 and 50 years old, was on Avenida 16 de Septiembre when the freight train on the track managed by Ferrocarriles Mexicanos SA de CV passed through Francisco Villa Ave. stopped.
While the machine was stationary, the woman motioned for her 11-year-old son to cross, which he did, and when she tried, the train began to move again. This, coupled with the slipperiness of the metal from which the woman was holding on, given a light rain that was in the center of the city for a few minutes, resulted in the fall of the woman, that the train dragged her about 10 meters , and that she ended up with her right breast mutilated by the wagons.
The accident occurred around 5:30 in the afternoon this Monday, after which two ambulances from the Mexican Red Cross arrived, one of them with identification number 154, but the woman no longer had vital signs, so She was covered with a white blanket while waiting for the Forensic Medical Service.
Remains of the woman were observed on the rails, while the pigeons pecked them and the municipal police guarded the scene.
Less than 20 meters from where the accident occurred, is the pedestrian overpass, built for when the train does not allow the passage of those who pass through Francisco Villa avenue and 16 de Septiembre, although it is still closed for remodeling.
