A 53-year-old nurse lost one of her arms and a leg after she was run over by a train at Asangaon in Thane district of Maharashtra, a GRP official said.
The victim, identified as Vidya Vakharikar, was in a hurry to board a train to reach Sion in Mumbai where she works in the hospital. In the rush to reach the platform at Asangaon railway station, the nurse decided to take a shortcut (by crossing the tracks).
As she was passing under a stationary goods train, it started moving leaving Vakharikar wounded with serious injuries, the Government Railway Police official said. The nurse was rushed to a local hospital and later shifted to Sion in Mumbai.
