She got out “miraculously”. A woman was only very slightly injured after going under a train on Sunday in custody of Colmar (Haut-Rhin), reported L’Alsace.
The facts occurred this Sunday around 6:40 p.m., according to the regional daily. First testimonies collected by the police indicate that the victim would have intentionally descended on the track, while a TER train entered the station. However, the thesis of an accidental fall is not completely excluded at this stage, underlines L’Alsace.
Rail traffic interrupted
This woman in her fifties was between the rails when the train passed overhead. She escaped with minor injuries, including scrapes and bruises. A “miraculous” outcome, according to an investigator quoted by the regional daily. Although most trains are protected by stone guards (or stone guards, in other words a device at the front which is used to move various obstacles away from the rails), this one was apparently not equipped with them, which saved this woman’s life.
She was taken to hospital by firefighters and Smur, according to the daily, which indicates that one of the lanes had to be evacuated during the intervention. Rail traffic was also interrupted and did not resume until 7:45 p.m.
