A woman and her son had a miraculous escape as they huddled up against the wall of the platform while they were stuck near the railway track as a train speeded through in Karnataka.

The mother and son were crossing the railway track at Kalaburgi railway station to go from one platform to another when the train suddenly appeared on the same track.

Since they were left with no time to climb on to the platform, the mother decided to huddle against the wall while holding her son in the nerve-racking moments while the train passed through.

While Indian Railways has been constantly reminding passengers not to cross railway tracks and use the foot overbridges instead, some careless people tend to violate this rule and end up in trouble.
