LISBON -- An elderly woman walked away without a scratch after being run over by a train in Portugal, local media reported on Monday.

Maria Delores Ramos, 77, slipped as she attempted to cross the railway near her home in the northern village of Barroselas, the daily Jornal de Noticias reported.

She could not get up on her own as she suffers from arthritis in her legs, so she sat in the middle of the track to wait for someone to pass by.

"Other people quickly arrived and raised me off the ground and held on to me but I told them I didn't need them to hold on to me, that I could stay up on my own," she said. "I can brag that I survived being run over by a train."

Somehow I don't believe that article of news... I know that miracles happen every once in awhile. But I would like to see a video for proof.

Sounds fishy to me as well...



Maybe it was her grandchilds toy train?

It all depends on what they mean by 'run over'. You can be run over by anything and survive without a scratch as long as theres a big enough space under the thing for it to go over you. In this case theres plenty of room under most trains for you to lay down in the middle of the track and let the train go right over you.

Yes, if she was laying down between the tracks she'd be OK.

That happened just a month or so ago here in NYC with the subway.
