Pregnant model died taking this picture to try and launch her career

An aspiring model died after she was
struck on a railway line while posing for
pictures. Fredzania Thompson was struck by the train in Texas during a shoot to try and get her career off the ground.


Her mother, Hakamie Stevenson, said her
daughter, a student at Blinn College, put her
education on hold to focus on modelling.

Authorities sayThompson wasstanding between two sets of tracks on Friday in Navasota when a BNSF Railway train
approached.

She moved out of the way of the train but
was apparently unaware that a Union Pacific train was coming in the opposite direction on the other tracks and was struck.

Union Pacific spokesman Jeff De Graff, told
the Navasota Examiner said the horn was
sounded and they had applied the emergency brakes.

Navasota Assistant City Manager Shawn
Myatt said: ‘Basically, you have two railroad
tracks there, one is Burlington Northern to
the west and one is Union Pacific to the east, and she was in between the two tracks.
‘Burlington Northern had a train on their
track coming and she turned back to the east to walk across the Union Pacific track and walked right in front of the Union Pacific train that was heading south.’

The person who was taking photos of
Thompson was not hurt. Navasota is about
60 miles northwest of Houston.

A gofundme page has been set up to help pay for her funeral.
