Race against time! Motorcycle rider stuck on level crossing as train approaches

A motorcycle rider faced a heartstopping race against time when he became stuck on a level crossing as a train approached.

The impatient motorist tried to beat the barrier as it was coming down but he hit his head and clotheslines him, knocking him to the ground. His Honda two-wheeler with narrow wheels was then stuck between the tracks in Bangkok, Thailand, on February 15.
