Two women survive being run over by train

Two women in Indiana had a very lucky escape when they narrowly avoided getting run down by a coal train.

Security footage from the train shows the women running down the tracks along an 80-foot-high as the train bears down on them at a speed of 30 miles per hour.

As the train gets closer, one of the women trips over the tracks. In the end, they both drop down on the tracks as the train passes over them.

Incredibly, neither of them were injured although the train driver reported hearing one of the lucky women say that she stubbed her toe. The pair then ran to a nearby car and drove away.

The footage was released by the Indiana Rail Road Company to highlight the dangers of walking on traintracks.

The company said the women have been identified by police and may face charges.
