Tourist Injured by Train While Taking Selfie in Taiwan

On December 14, 55-year-old tourist Liu Nu was struck by a train while attempting to take a selfie near the tracks in Taiwan. Captured on video, Liu ignored warnings as she focused on her photo, resulting in the locomotive grazing her shoulder and knocking her to the ground. Witnesses rushed to her aid, and she was taken to the hospital with a broken left foot but miraculously avoided major injuries. The incident caused a one-hour delay for 62 passengers on the train traveling from Chiayi to Alishan. The travel agency that organized the trip, Dream International Travel Agency, has a criminal record and was fined £5,000, with authorities considering barring its access to the area for a year. This event highlights ongoing safety concerns related to tourists taking selfies near dangerous locations.
