The video shows the rickshaw driver trying to cross the lane even though the gate is closed. A few other people can also be seen ignoring the closed gate and crossing the track.
Together with his bicycle rickshaw, the man slides under the fence and walks towards the railway. While standing on the track, he sees a train approaching him at an extremely high speed.
He leaves his rickshaw and jumps back in the nick of time.
