Unaware of its surrounding the cyclist starts to cross the track, as soon as the first train passed him. Though, he was not aware of the freight that was coming from the opposite side of the track.
By the time he realized that second train is coming from the opposite side, he was already on the track. In an attempt to save his life, cyclist raised the pace and barely manage to cross the track while the train passes from his behind.
Pheeewww… nothing happened to him. But, the moment was certainly heart wrenching and you can say that it was his lucky day.
Geert Vlogman, manager and stakeholder of the ProRails asked people to pay more attention to their surroundings while crossing the rail tracks. Because of these powerful machines, it is very hard for a train driver to avoid the collision.
