Displaying extraordinary grit in the wee hours, an elderly couple ran for a few metres along the track near Bhagavathipuram railway station near Sengottai, to stop an approaching train, minutes after a truck fell on the track between Bhagavathipuram and Aryankavu railway stations early on Sunday, February 25, 2024.
The couple, Shanmugaiah and Kurunthammal, was woken up by the loud noise caused by the truck falling down on the track after hitting the crash barrier of the ghat road.
