Unidentified Woman Commit LRT Suicide: Woman Jumps to Die in
LRT EDSA-Taft Station.
An unidentified woman ages between 50 and 60 apparently committed
suicide by jumping in front of an approaching Light Rail Transit (LRT) train in
Pasay City on Thursday morning, August 30. She died on the spot after suffering
severe head injury.
Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) Spokesperson Hernando
Cabrera said the woman jumped on the tracks of the LRT-1 in EDSA-Taft station
at around 5:50 a.m.
"It was really a case of suicide. It was seen on the
video. CCTV shows the woman jumped into the tracks right after the platform
guard walked by her," Cabrera said.
Her body was removed from the tracks shortly before 9 a.m.
following an investigation by Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO).
The train, which came from its station in Baclaran, also
suffered from a technical glitch after its operator stopped it upon seeing the
woman jumped off the platform.
The accident also caused some delays in the train operation
but full operations resumed around 9:40 a.m.
