Scary video! Man looking at phone narrowly escapes getting killed by speeding train

Commuters have been given countless warnings to not use their mobile phones while crossing roads or railway tracks and various tragic accidents related to this have also been reported. 

However, people still continue to follow this bad habit and create more trouble. Another case of looking at a mobile phone while walking emerged in Buenos Aires where a man narrowly escaped death. 

In the video, the commuter is seen walking on the railway track and looking at the mobile phone without realising that the train is coming at a very high speed. 

The heart-pounding video was shared on social media.

In the video, the commuter continues to see the device while walking through barricades. Moments later, the train grazes into him but he steps back suddenly at the last moment and escapes getting hit.
