Dulce Alondra, the girl who passed away while she tried to take a selfie...

The search for the perfect photo ended in tragedy. Last weekend, 16-year-old Mexican Dulce Alondra lost her life after trying to take a selfie with a moving train in the background. The incident occurred in a rural area of the state of Hidalgo and has shocked the entire country due to the brutality of the accident and the young age of the victim.

According to witnesses, Dulce Alondra was with a group of friends enjoying a sunny afternoon near the train tracks, a place frequented by many young people for its natural environment and the views of the railway landscape. With her cell phone in hand, the teenager got too close to the track as the train approached at high speed. Despite the warning shouts, she seemed focused on getting the best shot for her social media accounts.

The train driver, seeing the young woman dangerously close, activated the emergency brake and sounded the horn. But there wasn’t enough time. The impact was inevitable. Dulce was violently struck by the side of the locomotive, causing fatal injuries. Paramedics arrived minutes later, but were only able to confirm her death.

The news quickly went viral on social media, sparking a heated debate about the risks of extreme selfies, especially among teenagers. Many users mourned the loss of such a young life for such a trivial reason as a photograph. Others called for greater awareness and digital education to prevent this type of behavior.

Dulce Alondra was a cheerful young woman, known in her community for her charisma and passion for fashion. Her Instagram and TikTok posts showed a girl who loved sharing everyday moments and enjoying her youth. No one imagined that one of those posts would be her last.
