TORONTO - Hair-raising footage shows the moment a group of teenagers who trespassed on a rail bridge in Toronto, Canada narrowly dodged an oncoming train on Friday, May 20.

According to Metrolinx, a Milton Line GO Train was crossing a river overpass when it came dangerously close to hitting the group of trespassers.One of them was "clinging to the fence on the edge of the bridge," the agency reported.

The train crew spotted two other teens on the track looking as if to "outrun the train.""Incidents like this are too often tragic and life-altering – not only for loved ones but for the crew and first responders involved," Metrolinx said. "The train crew slammed on their emergency brakes and blasted their horn." The train missed one of the boys by only a foot, Metrolinx said.Thankfully the teens are safe, but crossing a railroad or trespassing on it can have serious consequences.

More than 100 Canadians a year are seriously injured or killed while crossing or trespassing on railways, according to Operation Lifesaver.In the U.S., more than 400 trespass fatalities and nearly as many injuries along railroads occur each year, according to the Department of Transportation.
