COLOMBIA Man on a bicycle decided to take a shortcut home by riding along the railway tracks. He believed no train would be coming that way anymore, but he was gravely mistaken. He was struck and suffered severe injuries, including the amputation of his left arm. Although he is still alive in the video, his condition was so serious that it cannot be assumed he survived the following hours.
More shocking than the consequences of the accident is the reaction of a witness, who chose to film the scene instead of providing first aid. In situations like this, it is absolutely essential to immediately call the emergency number and stop the bleeding from the stump using a tourniquet. A clean piece of fabric, such as a T-shirt, can serve as an improvised tourniquet.
