This is the intense moment a car stuck on a level crossing was dragged to safety just seconds before a train arrived.
Footage shows how the vehicle stalled on a railway crossing in Stara Wies, near Piotrkow Trybunalski, in the Lodz region of Poland, on February 17 at around 4:15 pm.
Despite repeated attempts, the driver was unable to restart the engine. A passing motorist rushed to assist but was unable to get the car moving.
With time running out, another driver offered a tow rope and used his off-road vehicle to attempt a rescue.
As the towline was being secured, the crossing's red lights flashed, and the barriers lowered, signalling that a train was approaching.
The rescuer accelerated, pulling the car off the tracks with such force that it collided with the woman and her friend, knocking them aside.
At 4:17 pm, the train passed, narrowly missing the car and none of the people were injured.
PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe said in a statement: 'Drivers and the train operator can breathe a sigh of relief. This was a true race against time.
'From the moment the car stalled to the train's arrival, just 1.5 minutes passed. Huge applause for our heroes, who kept their cool and acted decisively under immense pressure.'
The state railway company later released safety advice for such emergencies. Drivers should abandon the vehicle immediately, ensure all passengers leave the car, and call 112 with the crossing's identification number from the Yellow Sticker to alert authorities, who may be able to halt train traffic.
They emphasised: 'Don't risk your life—it's irreplaceable, unlike a car.'
Authorities also recommended that individuals in such situations divide tasks. One person should call for help while others ensure everyone exits the vehicle safely.
