The horrifying footage, captured on a surveillance camera in Mumbai, sees people and vehicles crossing the railway track. They notice the speeding train coming towards them and quickly get to their respective sides.
Then, a motorcycle rider appears in the video whose bike falls near the railway tracks and he retreats for safety. The two-wheeler came under the train and got destroyed to pieces.

When people themselves don’t care for their life, how can expect someone else to care for them.

Bikers are always in hurry and no traffic rules apply to them.
Jumping signals, riding in opposite directions, blocking traffic etc etc.
Sometimes they are not lucky and pay the price with their lives.— sarfaraz edroos (@edroossarf) February 15, 2022
