Woman injured trying to catch Skytrain

A woman has head injuries after getting tangled up on Skytrain this morning.

She was at New Westminster station, trying to catch a train heading downtown.

Just as the Skytrain doors were about to close, the woman tossed her shopping bag, attached to her left wrist, through the closing doors.

The bag was too small to prevent the doors from closing.

The train started to move.

The woman started to run and fell onto the platform.

Two other passengers helped her until Skytrain staff and paramedics could arrive.

She suffered a cut to her head and other unspecified injuries.
