A rickshaw-puller narrowly avoided being crushed to death when he wheeled into path of a speeding train. CCTV footage shows the the man walk underneath the closed barrier, before attempting to cross the tracks. The speeding train then smashed into his rickshaw, narrowly missing the man who had jumped to safety on to a nearby track, in the Aligarh district in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. He quickly stood up - with his rickshaw now nowhere to be seen - as the train continued to speed past, on September 9. The rickshaw driver then walked further up the adjacent track as concerned bystanders looked on.
