A video is going viral on different social media platforms showing a car driving inches away from an incoming Indian Railway train. The train was running slow, and the car moved past the railway crossing stop and started moving next to the train.
On the other end, people were waiting for the train to pass and curiously watching the unusual movement of the car next to the train.
The number plate of the car is clearly visible, which shows that the car belongs to Uttar Pradesh. The white car appears to be a Maruti Suzuki Dzire. There is no information available about the location and timing of the video.
The 28-second video was posted by an X user, who captioned that video that reads, "Now that's what we call a close escape. Also, A part of me wanted the train to give at least some damage to the car, it would have been a great lesson to the stupid car owner."
