In a video of the incident, the woman can be seen perilously hanging outside the train by the handrails. She was recording a video with a friend when the tree branch struck her and caused her to fall. She survived with minor injuries.
Despite the scary scenes, police reported that she had miraculously escaped with minor injuries. The bushes to which she fell cushioned her fall because they protaected her head, which otherwise would have seriously been harmed. Authorities confirmed that the tourist only suffered some scratches.
The police have thus called on tourists to be careful at all times while traveling aboard trains.
