TORONTO – Metrolinx has released a video of three young people avoiding being hit by a GO train to reinforce the dangers of walking on train tracks.
The surveillance video, filmed from the front of a GO train, shows one person standing on adjacent tracks while two others are running in front of the train.
One of the runners crosses directly in front of the train before throwing himself against a railing, narrowly dodging from being hit.
The other corridor deviates to the adjacent tracks as the train passes.
Metrolinx says the incident happened on May 20th.
Crown reports that the video is from the Humber River flyover at Etobicoke, south of 401 Weston Road.
No one was injured in the incident, but Metrolinx reports that 100 Canadians are seriously injured or die each year as a result of cross-crossing or intrusion incidents.
