Belgium's state railway company, Infrabel, has released astonishing footage of two individuals narrowly escaping disaster on train tracks in Liege. The footage reveals the moment these individuals fled their vehicle just seconds before a speeding train collided with it.
The harrowing incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by railway crossings, and the importance of reacting swiftly in life-threatening situations. The incident began when the car became stuck on the tracks after the crossing barriers closed behind it, leaving no room for the vehicle to reverse.
Realizing the severity of the situation, the engers acted fast and managed to get out of the car just moments before the collision occurred. Infrabel's footage highlights the dramatic sequence, with the train smashing into the stranded car at high speed while the engers safely escaped.
The message to the people
In a public statement, Infrabel urged drivers to prioritize their safety and abandon their vehicles without hesitation if stuck on tracks. The company emphasized that human lives should always take precedence over vehicles or material possessions. "It was a close call for the engers in this car. We can't remind you enough: never take risks!" the railway company cautioned.
They also advised drivers to pay attention to crossing signals and avoid the temptation to cross when barriers are lowering. Infrabel stressed that such incidents can often be prevented through increased awareness and caution. They warned drivers to remain vigilant, adding, "Are the barriers coming down? Wait, don't cross." The statement underscored the importance of remaining calm and observant near railway crossings to avoid dangerous situations altogether.
While the engers in this incident managed to escape unscathed, the collision serves as a sobering example of what can happen when vehicles get caught on train tracks. Railway crossings can become perilous quickly, underscoring the need for proactive safety measures. Infrabel hopes their released footage will serve as a critical reminder to everyone of the seriousness of the matter.
