3 young people narrowly escape being hit by GO train west of Toronto: video

Metrolinx has released a video of three young people narrowly avoiding being hit by a GO train to reinforce the dangers of walking on railway tracks.

The surveillance video, shot from the cab of a GO train, shows one person standing on adjacent tracks while two others run in front of the train. One of the runners crosses directly in front of the train before throwing themselves against a railing, narrowly dodging being hit. The other runner veers off onto the adjacent tracks as the train passes by. Metrolinx said the incident happened on May 20.

The Crown agency said the video is of the Humber River overpass in Etobicoke, south of Highway 401 at Weston Road.
