A shocking clip captures the horrific moment a woman is hit by a train while taking footage on her phone.
The tourist who goes by the name Liu Nu incredibly survived the collision with the Alishan Forest Railway train in Chiayi, Taiwan, on December 14.
She was seen standing mere inches from the railway track, holding her phone up and smiling, before the train whizzed past and knocked her to the ground.
The train driver honked the vehicle’s horn to alert the woman before the front of the carriage connected with Lui’s shoulder.
Witnesses could be heard screaming in shock as they rushed to help her.
In the video, Liu can at first be seen lying lifeless on the ground, before eventually moving her legs slightly.
The 55-year-old was bandaged up before being rushed to a nearby hospital.
Fortunately, she did not suffer fatal injuries.
An examination found she had broken her left foot.
It has been reported that a group of people had made their way onto part of the railway track to take photos.
They were on a trip organized by an agency called Dream International Travel Agency.
An alarm was sounded immediately, as people are not allowed that close to the line.
The Lin Tie Cultural and Capital Office said the travel agency is now prohibited from applying to enter that area for one year. The agency was also fined $10,000.
Police are still investigating any damage that may have been caused to the train or the track.
The travel agency has since apologised and stated that the passenger accident was caused by taking a selfie.
A representative claims that a staff member had warned people in the group about keeping their distance from the train and said the company will strengthen its training to ensure people are kept safe.
