A chilling video of a biker’s near-death experience with a super-fast moving train is going viral on the internet. The clip shows the man’s motorcycle being blown into smithereens by a speeding train. The man, however, managed to escape just in time from being mowed down by the train.
The nail-biting video was shared by journalist Rajendra B. Aklekar on his official twitter handle. Aklekar shared the 19-second clip along with an old video of a similar incident that happened in 2021, where a biker made a narrow escape from a moving train but his motorcycle was blown to pieces.
In the video, one can see a man on his bike, trying to cross the railway tracks. On reaching the track, he immediately stops and gets down from his motorcycle, only to run in the opposite direction from the tracks. One can see that the man discarded from the scene at the last moment as his bike comes under the train and explodes to pieces. The biker was lucky enough to have saved his life in the nick of time.
