Heart-stopping images have been shared of a drunken man dicing with death on a live railway track. The man clambers over the barriers and stumbles across two live tracks just seconds before a train thunders past.
The heavy freight is thought to be travelling about 100mph and the drivers blares his horn while the man continues across the track. CCTV of the worrying near-miss in Lincoln city centre was subsequently shared as a warning to student freshers.
Elisha Allen, community safety manager for Network Rail, said: “This behaviour is incredibly dangerous and deeply concerning. The individual involved recklessly risked their life to stumble just a few metres further forward.
