Model dies when her clothes are sucked into the air by a moving train during a photo shoot

A model died after her clothes became caught in a passing high-speed train during a photo shoot near the tracks.

Cinthya Nayeli Higareda Bermejo was killed while posing for a photo shoot near train tracks in the town of Zacoalco de Torres, near Guadalajara in western Mexico.

The photographer had planned to have a fast-moving train in the background of the pictures of the 30-year-old model.

However, reports indicate that Bermejo ended up standing too close to the tracks.

The model’s clothing got caught and was pulled into the path of a fast-moving train, causing her to be dragged along by the train.

Bermejo, originally from Venezuela, died instantly.

Although the emergency services were called to the scene of the accident, the paramedics could only confirm the model’s death.

The police have taken statements from the photographer and other witnesses who were present at the photo shoot.

“According to the information we have so far, the victim participated in a photo shoot with a person we have already interviewed and some other witnesses at the crime scene,” says Jalisco State Attorney Joaquín Méndez Ruiz.

“Everything indicates that it was an accident. She came too close to the passing train.

“The force apparently managed to pull her clothing in the direction that led to her death.”

Bermejo’s body was recovered from the tracks for an autopsy before being released to her family for burial.

The police investigation into the death of the Venezuelan model is reportedly still ongoing.

According to Operation Lifesaver, Inc., a nonprofit organization and nationally recognized leader in rail safety education, hundreds of people are injured or killed each year in the United States while trespassing on railroad property.

Operation Lifesaver is urging professional photographers in the United States not to take photos of high school graduates, wedding parties, and other subjects on railroad tracks or bridges.

However, the nonprofit offers advice to professional photographers planning a photoshoot near train tracks, including never assuming that train tracks are abandoned or disused and acknowledging that it is difficult to determine the distance and speed of a train due to an optical illusion.
