Watch viral video: Overconfident driver flouts rules, instant consequences follow

A viral video circulating on social media captures a harrowing incident at a railway level crossing, where a driver’s reckless decision nearly cost him his life.

In the footage, a car approaches a level crossing with barriers already lowered, signalling an approaching train. Ignoring the warning, the driver maneuvers the vehicle around the first barrier, attempting to cross the tracks. However, upon crossing, the car is halted by the barrier on the opposite side, leaving it stranded between the gates.

Realising the imminent danger, the driver left the vehicle and moves to safety. Moments later, a train barrels through the crossing, colliding with the stationary car. The impact is so forceful that it not only obliterates the vehicle but also uproots the barrier pole.
