Woman survives after 56-wagon goods train passes over her

A woman had a miraculous escape today after 56 wagons of a goods train passed over her as she lay flat between the tracks after accidentally falling on to them and getting entangled.
Himani Manjhi, 45, was walking towards the Purulia station from her Nimtand residence to take a train to Tatanagar, the police said.
While crossing the tracks, she suddenly got entangled with some object and fell down in between the tracks.
The goods train was approaching on the same tracks from behind and people as well as staff of the railway goods shed who witnessed the woman fall, alerted her and said she would lie still.

"The 56-wagon-long goods train passed over her and she miraculously escaped with only minor cuts and bruises from the fall. She was taken to the station and after receiving first aid, she left for Tatanagar," a senior railway official at Purulia station said.
