Investigators believe the woman, identified as Tamar Fenigstein from Petach Tikva, may have fallen on the path of the Jerusalem tram after experiencing an epileptic seizure.
A passerby who called first responders told the emergency operator that "a woman has been run over by the Jerusalem light rail, she is trapped." Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
The tragic incident took place while she was with four friends, who witnessed her horrific death. They were later hospitalized after suffering from shock.
Fenigstein is the first person to have been killed by the light rail in the city since its inauguration some 10 years ago.
