Hair-raising footage that has been widely circulated online shows a man desperately trying to drag his two-wheeler away from the railway tracks in which it had become stuck, even as tried to signal an oncoming train to stop for him. The chilling video, filmed in Gujarat, shows the man running away in the nick of time as the train dragged his scooter with it for a few seconds before finally coming to a halt. The footage has gone viral on social media, where many criticised the man’s behaviour as foolish and reckless.
The incident took place at Sandhiya Bridge in Jamnagar, reports. The train was speeding on the railway track passing through the Hariya College area when it encountered the stranded scooterist.
According to several media reports, the man had been doing stunts on the railway tracks when he noticed the approaching train. The scooterist tried to move his vehicle out of the train’s way but quickly realised it had become stuck. He raised his hand to signal the train driver to stop, but that, of course, proved to be an exercise in futility.
Videos shared on social media show the train dragging his Activa scooter along for a few seconds after the man managed to sprint away at the very last second, avoiding a serious accident.
