A shocking clip captures the horror moment a woman is hit by a train while recording a video.

Liu Nu is standing too close to the railway track when she is knocked to the ground.

Witnesses can be heard screaming in shock as they rush to help her.

In the video, Lu can at first be seen lying lifeless on the ground.

Towards the end of the clip, she starts to move her legs slightly.

The 55-year-old was bandaged up before being rushed to a nearby hospital.

Fortunately, she did not suffer fatal injuries.

An examination found she had broken her left foot.

As a result of the accident, the train was delayed for around one hour.

This affected a total of 62 passengers, as reported by Need To Know.

The train was travelling from Chiayi to Alishan in Taiwan on 14 December.

It has been reported that a group of people had made their way onto part of the railway track to take photos.

They were on a trip organised by an agency called Dream International Travel Agency.

An alarm was sounded immediately, as people are not allowed that close to the line.

The Lin Tie Cultural and Capital Office responded on 15 December.

They said that the travel agency that was with the group had a criminal record, and that it will be requested that the agency is prohibited from applying to enter that area for one year.

The agency was also fined £5,000.

Police are still investigating any damage that may have been caused to the train or the track.

The travel agency has since apologised and stated that the passenger accident was caused by taking a selfie.

A representative claims that a staff member had warned people in the group about keeping their distance from the train and said the company will strengthen its training to ensure people are kept safe.
