A teenage girl has died after she was hit by a
train as she posed for a selfie just inches from a
railway track. Horror photos show the unnamed
19-year-old just seconds before the train hit her
after ignoring warnings from other tourists to
move back. This happened in the city of Foshan,
South China’s Guangdong Province last
Saturday.
The girl was reportedly attracted to a particular
stretch of rail by a sea of roses growing nearby,
which also attracted hundreds of others but she
went too far by straying too close to the railway
tracks until she was finally struck by a freight
train and paramedics on arrival pronounced her
dead.
Officials have banned people from taking
photographs in that railway area.
While selfies may never be listed as an official
cause of death, there have been an increasing
number of selfie-related deaths in China in
recent years, including those of victims who tried
to take selfies while on top dangerous cliffs and
waterfalls.
