A 48-year-old Canadian
woman has died from strangulation after her scarf and hair got caught in an
escalator at a Montreal train station.
The freak accident
took place just after 9am Thursday morning at the Fabre metro station along
Montreal's blue line.
Witnesses told police
they saw the unnamed victim struggling to free her scarf after it got lodged in
the teeth of an escalator on her way down to the subway platform.
