Rajchel went into cardiac arrest shortly after impact, and while medics arrived at the scene, it was too late to save Rajchel. She was studying to become a nurse at the University of Medicine in Posada, a village in southern Poland. The Puente de Triana is a famous locale for photographers wanting to take pictures of the region.
“This was a tragic accident and we are looking to make that stretch of boulevard along the river safer,” a city spokesman reportedly told Central European News.
Bernadeta, the woman’s 44 year old mother, was distraught at the news.
“Going to Spain was a dream come true for my daughter,” she said. “She was a beautiful, smiling girl who had her whole life ahead of her. It’s hard to believe what’s happened, that I will never see Sylvia again.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only incident of its kind. The U.S. Forest Service, for example, has to warn visitors of taking selfies with feeding bears. A Mexican man died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while taking a gun selfie. Rajchel’s death serves as an ominous reminder that taking dangerous selfies simply isn’t worth the risk.
