A married couple leapt off a railway bridge into a 90ft deep gorge to escape an approaching train during a photoshoot.
Shocking footage shows the pair plunging from Gormaghat Bridge in Pali, Rajasthan, northwest India, around midday on July 15, leaving them seriously injured.
The harrowing moment showed the couple creating content for social media when the train appeared unexpectedly.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The couple, deeply absorbed in their photoshoot, seemingly did not notice the train until it was only feet away.
In a desperate attempt to avoid the oncoming train, they jumped off the bridge, plummeting into the gorge below.
According to witnesses, the couple appeared oblivious to the oncoming danger until the train was only feet away, as they were ‘engrossed’ in their photoshoot.
Despite the terrifying fall, both individuals survived but sustained serious injuries. The husband’s condition is reported to be critical.
Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene and transported the injured couple to the nearest medical facility.
