Thelma Candelaria, a mother of seven was visited by an unexpected and excruciating painful death. She was struck and crushed by a train while she was filming her morning jog along railroad tracks in Eloy, Arizona, United States. She had her headphone on at tye time of the tragic incident.

The 47-year old, according to reports, was recording a passing train on Snapchat when another train approached from the opposite direction.

It was gathered from her 29-year-old daughter, Alaisha, while  speaking with AZ Family that her mother apparently did not notice the approaching train.

“She had her noise-canceling headphones on. She was in her own world,” Alaisha said.

Fox 10 Investigators disclosed that the train engineer spotted Candelaria standing between the tracks and immediately activated the emergency brakes, and both trains reportedly sounded their horns in an attempt to alert her.

The Police found the lifeless body of Candelaria at the scene near Sunshine Boulevard and Frontier Street, with a broken orange cellphone also recovered at the scene.

As investigations into the incident continues, her daughter has reportedly began  putting together what happened by reviewing surveillance footage and her mother’s social media posts.

Candelaria sadly left seven children behind.

Following this development, the family has  launched a GoFundMe fundraiser to help support the Children.

She left behind four adults and  three minors – Symphony, also known as Nani, Evelyn, and Max.

The family expressed the painful reality of losing their loved one and the challenges ahead for the children in the fundraiser.

A statement by the family reads: “Thelma leaves behind seven children, including three minors: Symphony (Nani), Evelyn, and Max.”

Shaunia, her 21-year-old daughter is expected to take on the responsibility of heading the household, with support from her 29-year-old sister, Alaisha.

According to the family, Candelaria had reportedly been baptised just days before her death, a detail they say has brought them some comfort amid their grief.

“I find comfort knowing she gave her heart to the Lord, but my heart breaks for the children who must now navigate life without their mother”, the fundraiser stated.
