By the time she looks up from the phone she is already too close to the train blocking the train and taken completely by surprise. She then frantically starts slamming the brakes to halt the train but it is too late and she crashes into the train ahead.
The video also shows an injured passenger lying on the floor of the train compartment.
The video was posted on Twitter by CCTV Idiots, a handle that highlights careless acts by people caught on camera. The train incident took place in Russia in October 2019.
