Woman sticks to railway line

If you think it’s cold here this week, a Siberian woman had to be cut free after her hand froze to a railway track when she fell on to the line.

Irina Ivanova, 62, grabbed the rail after slipping over in temperatures of -30°C The Sun reports. Her hand immediately stuck to it and a passer-by found her an hour later.

Rescuers used welding torches to cut the track.

She was taken to hospital where doctors removed the metal and treated her for hypothermia in Tyumen, Siberia.
