A man has been successfully rescued after he got trapped under a train while crossing the tracks in HCM City on March 18.

The scene of the incident

Witnesses at the scene said that when the north-south train was moving slowly in Binh Thanh District at 5 pm, 45-year-old Tran Thanh Quang suddenly walked across the railway line. He got hit and dragged for a short distance by the train.

Luckily, he survived but got trapped under the train. The train driver stopped the engine and quickly called the emergency services after noticing that the man is still alive.

The rescue services and the police managed to lift the train carriage and Quang was still conscious when he was rescued one hour later and transferred to the hospital.

The incident caused severe congestion in nearby streets as it occurred during the rush hour and the train blocked Binh Loi Street.
