PARAMEDICS had to work for nearly 40 minutes to free a woman who lost both hands after she was hit and then became trapped under a DART train.
People standing on the platform at Dun Laoghaire station in south Co Dublin fainted at the horror of the tragedy unfolding in front of them.
The woman, believed to be in her early 20s, was hit by the north-bound Greystones to Malahide train as it came into the station.
Gardai are trying to establish the circumstances leading up to the incident. It is understood the woman was on the tracks as the train arrived at the station and was hit.
She ended up trapped beneath the train.
The incident happened shortly before 8pm last night.
Rescue crews spent nearly 40 minutes treating the critically injured woman and trying to free her from under the train. But she is understood to have lost both hands.
She was said to have been alive leaving the scene in an ambulance. A garda escort travelled ahead of the ambulance as it rushed to St Vincent's Hospital.
DART services between Lansdowne Road and Bray were suspended while the emergency was being dealt with.
