An 18-year-old woman survived being hit and dragged several feet by a train while trying to get an artistic photo of herself on the railroad.
Julia Laureano, a freshman at the University of West Florida was hospitalized when she was hit Thursday afternoon, reports the Daily Mail.
Laureano and her friend were trying to get photos with an oncoming train in the background according to Northwest Florida Daily News.
The locomotive was moving at 40mph and headed south. Her friend Leah Bateman, 20, was taking the photos of Laureano.
Laureano was struck near the Scenic Highway in Pensacola and dragged for several feet before falling off the side of the track onto a pile of rocks.
The teen was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital in critical condition. Pensacola Police say her injuries are not life threatening, according to WEARTV.
