A woman was cut in half and killed when a bus was hit by a train on a crossing, throwing the victim through a window and underneath the carriage’s wheels.

Graphic footage of the freak accident in Brazil shows the bus moving slowly over the tracks as the train barrels towards it, unable to stop in time.

The train can be seen honking its horn seconds before it smashes into the side of the bus, leaving one woman dead and five people injured in Brasilia, the Brazilian capital, on the afternoon of Friday, November 17. 

The woman has been named as Julia de Albuquerque Violato, 37, with Fire Department officials saying she was thrown from the bus and run over by the train.

In more shocking footage of the aftermath, which MailOnline has decided not to show, her corpse can be seen on the ground near the train, severed in two.

Other images show the aftermath of the crash, with the bus seen with severe damage at the back end, and with the woman’s lower body apparently severed in two lying on the tracks.

The woman has been named as Julia de Albuquerque Violato, 37, with Fire Department officials saying she was thrown from the bus and run over by the train.

Four of the five injured have been named.

Nildete Antunes Vitor, 58, suffered a head injury and fractures and Julio Botelho Fernandes, 28, suffered serious head trauma and was taken to hospital unconscious.

The two other named victims are Janderson Rodrigues da Costa, 47, who suffered abrasions to his face and arms, and Pedro Domiense Campos, 42, the bus driver, who suffered shock and a nervous breakdown.

A fifth victim, a 19-year-old girl, was not named. She was taken to hospital, also in a state of shock after she suffered a nervous breakdown.

Julia’s mother, Ana Rosa, 72, said that it ‘was not an accident, it was a crime’. She has accused the bus driver of negligence.

The heartbroken woman told how her daughter had been taking clothes to a thrift store when the crash took place.

The authorities cordoned off the area and are investigating the crash.
