Tourist falls off a train to her death ‘while hanging from the carriage trying to take a photo’ in Sri Lanka

A tourist has died in Sri Lanka after falling from a moving train while trying to take a photo.

She was travelling on a scenic railway route popular with visitors. At some point, she leaned out of an open carriage to take a picture and lost her balance.

Emergency services rushed her to hospital, but she later died from serious head injuries caused by the fall.

The train route is famous for its views of mountains, forests, and tea plantations. While it attracts many tourists, officials warn that leaning out of train doors or windows is extremely dangerous, especially on moving trains.

Safety experts say similar accidents have occurred in other countries, often involving people taking photos in unsafe places. They urge travellers to stay inside carriages, follow safety rules, and avoid risky photo attempts.

Authorities remind tourists that no picture is worth putting a life at risk.
