A woman was cut in half and killed when a bus was hit by a train at a crossing and the victim was thrown through a window and under the carriage’s wheels.

Graphic footage of the bizarre accident in Brazil shows the bus moving slowly along the tracks as the train races towards it, unable to stop in time.

In Brasilia, the Brazilian capital, the train can be seen blowing its horn just before it crashed into the side of the bus, killing a woman and injuring five people.

The woman’s name is Julia de Albuquerque Violato, 37, and fire officials said she was thrown from the bus and struck by the train.

In shocking images of the aftermath, which MailOnline has refused to show, her body can be seen on the ground next to the train, cut in half.

A fifth victim, a 19-year-old girl, has not been named. She was also rushed to hospital in shock after suffering a nervous breakdown.
