TORONTO – Metrolinx has released a video of three young people who are narrowly avoiding being hit by a GO train to increase the dangers of walking on rails.
The surveillance video, taken from the front of a GO train, shows one man standing on adjacent tracks while two others run in front of the train.
One of the runners crossed directly in front of the train before throwing himself into the railing, avoiding being hit.
The other runner deviates to the adjacent tracks as the train passes.
Metrolinx says the incident happened on May 20.
The Crown news agency said the video was on the Humber River overpass in Etobico, south of 401 Weston Road.
No one was injured in the accident, but Metrolinx notes that 100 Canadians are seriously injured or killed each year as a result of incidents involving railroad crossings or intrusions.
