The heart stopping moment that a drunk man falls unconscious onto a railway line and is rescued

The heart stopping moment that a drunk man falls unconscious onto a railway line and is rescued by a driver with just seconds to spare before a train thunders along *** This is the heart-in-mouth moment a driver bravely pulls a drunk man off a railway track just a split second before a train goes hurtling by. The shocking incident took place at a level crossing in the south-western Russian city of Bryansk one night and was captured on a CCTV camera. The footage, making the rounds on social networks after being published in local media, starts with the visibly drunk pedestrian stumbling up a patch of grass to get to the road. Once there, he staggers over to the railway crossing but suddenly falls over and remains motionless on the ground - with half of his body still on the tracks. The driver, meanwhile, is sitting in his dark-coloured car waiting for the train to pass. It takes the driver - who appears to be a young man - some time to realise that the man is not going to get up in time and that he needs help. He gets out of his vehicle and rushes over to pull the man off the track just before the train comes rushing through. The video suddenly cuts shortly after the incredible rescue. | DailyMail via IFTTT
