The incident occurred on the night of July 28th in the city of Juiz de Fora, Brazil. According to local media reports, the city's fire department stated that the bus broke down on the tracks while trying to pass, and the driver and six passengers were able to get off the bus at the last moment. The footage shows a freight train colliding with the bus, launching it into the air and tearing it apart. As the train approaches the bus at high speed, a man can be seen escaping from the tracks. A representative from Real Turismo stated that the bus stopped due to an electrical malfunction and there was no way to remove it before the accident. No one was injured in the incident. The railway company MRS emphasized that the driver followed all safety procedures and expressed regret for what happened. These images are reminiscent of a dog walker who narrowly escaped being crushed by a fast train. A CCTV camera captured the moment when a man ignored a red light warning at a level crossing, forcing the driver to brake suddenly. National Rail condemned this "reckless" behavior and stated that the person narrowly escaped disaster by "seconds". The incident occurred near Blakedown station in Worcestershire. Natalie Stretton, Network Rail's Head of Operational Risk, said: "There can be no excuse for such reckless behavior. A difference of just a few seconds could have resulted in tragedy, and I cannot underestimate the danger they put themselves in. I want to use this video as a reminder to everyone using level crossings to use them safely."
