Lucky escape for man hit by Peru train

Advertisements

A man has survived being run over by a train while sleeping by train tracks in Peru, local authorities said.

Surveillance footage shows him lying motionless before a slow-moving cargo train makes contact with him. He gets to his feet shortly after the incident in Lima.

“He apparently was in a state of intoxication, fell asleep along the train tracks and did not feel the train coming,” said local official General Javier Avalos.

Remarkably the man suffered only minor injuries to his left arm, General Avalos added, and was taken to hospital for treatment.
