According to local media such as the Central News Agency, a 36-year-old female Filipino tourist was hit by a train running at Spun Station in Pingxi-gu, Taiwan, at around 4:42 p.m. on the 20th.
She was standing close to the railroad tracks and posing for a picture with the train in the background.
The station is known as a popular spot where many tourists take pictures.
The woman's left arm, which stretched out for a photo shoot, was reportedly caught on the train.
Fortunately, the woman was not life-threatening and suffered a 3-5cm tear in her head.
In addition, hospital examination results showed bruises on the chest and pelvis.
Police believe the female tourist accidentally got close to the track and got into an accident.
Under Taiwan's railway law, pedestrians and vehicles must not enter places such as railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and inside stations without approval. Violation of this regulation could result in a fine of 10,000 to 50,000 Taiwanese dollars (about 440,000 to 2.2 million won).
