A young Polish tourist from Lublin allegedly fell to her death while trying to snap the perfect photo of herself on the Puente de Triana bridge in Seville, Spain.
Sylwia Rajchel, 23, visited the tourist landmark shortly after midnight, stepping upon its ledge in order to capture the moment. Rajchel, a nursing student, had been vacationing in the city.
While posing, Rajchel’s foot slipped. Central European News reports that the woman fell 15 feet onto the concrete base below the bridge.
When medical professionals arrived, they made an attempt to revive Rajchel. The woman died of her extensive head injuries shortly afterward.
Bernadeta, Rajchel’s grieving mother, told the CEN,
Going to Spain was a dream come true for my daughter. She had taught herself the language and was hoping to work there in the future after finishing her studies.Rajchel’s father has reportedly since visited Spain to collect his daughter’s body.
It’s hard to believe what’s happened, that I will never see Sylwia again.
A city spokesmen stated Seville hopes to make improvements to the bridge’s safety precautions in an effort to prevent accidents like this from happening in the future.
