When people are careless on roads or railway tracks, they often come face to face with a fatal accident. But sometimes, they are extremely lucky and make it out alive. One such similar incident has been caught on tape and shared on social media. In the video, it can be seen that a man is pulling his rickshaw and trying to cross a railway track. Suddenly, a train can be seen approaching the spot at a very high speed. The man abandons his rickshaw quickly and falls back a little further. As he escapes this site, his rickshaw can be seen getting completely destroyed after getting hit by the train. This incident occurred in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh.
The video was shared by ANI UP/Uttarakhand on Twitter with the caption, “#WATCH Narrow escape for a rickshaw puller while crossing a railway track in Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh. (09.09)”. The clip has currently more than 13,000 views.
