Electric arc

Marilú Taipe, as she is called, was the victim of an electric arc. A loud explosion went off beneath her feet and blew out the manhole cover she was standing on, as seen in the News9Live video posted on YouTube.

“The small underground tank corresponding to a traffic light exploded after a short circuit, blowing out the concrete cover,”, the local media outlet reports 20 minutos.

The slab falls on her

The Peruvian then fell into the hole that formed and the slab fell on her. As can be seen in the video, soldiers were nearby and quickly intervened to help her.

Spectacular images

The images are spectacular but the incident was not dramatic. The passerby escaped with a shoulder injury and a big fright but her life is not in danger. She was taken to the hospital.
