Scooter just before the approaching train. A few centimeters separated from tragedy.

A man riding an electric scooter narrowly avoided a train collision at a railway crossing in Poland. Instead of stopping at a STOP sign, he attempted to cross just before the approaching train. The incident, captured on camera, highlights the dangers of ignoring traffic rules. Polregio, the train operator, released the footage to raise awareness about the risks associated with such reckless behavior. Since the beginning of the year, 33 fatalities and 27 serious injuries have occurred at railway crossings in Poland, emphasizing the importance of adhering to safety regulations. Train accidents not only affect those involved but also disrupt services and incur significant costs for emergency responses.
