“Horrifying video captured the moment a woman was crushed to death by a 400-pound barbell — in front of her daughter — at a Mexico City gym.
The 42-year-old mom was working out Monday at Fitness Sport in the neighborhood of Peralvillo, with a burly man seen adjusting the plates before she gets into position, the Mirror reported. But the woman loses control of the barbell, which falls and crushes her neck, killing her on the spot, according to the outlet, which cited Newsflash. The woman was killed instantly after the weight crushed her neck. Her daughter is believed to be receiving psychological counseling after the traumatic event. The owner of the gym was reportedly briefly arrested in order to confirm the woman’s identity” – NYPOST |
