A cyclist has faced death when she was almost run over by a train in Waterbeach, England. The moment has been captured on local traffic cameras and the clip has been provided by the British Transport Police.

The viral video posted above is probably meant to serve as a reminder to all bike owners that large, flashing lights in front of train tracks are there to show you that a train is coming.

The barriers at the level crossing were still down when the cyclist approached. She rode ride past the barrier but she did stop when she hit the rails.

However, she was almost blown away by the speeding train. She was about one second from meeting her death in a horrible accident.
