New Delhi: This video is going to rattle you! 

A footage showing how a tractor escaped the collision with a train by a couple of inches in the United Kingdom is doing its round on the social media.

A high-speed train almost rammed into a tractor that came close while it was crossing the track. 

However, the collision was avoided as the driver applied the emergency breaks, reported NDTV. 

The near-miss incident clip has been released by British Transport Police (BTP) Leicestershire on July 27 to warn about the dangers of crossing rail tracks irresponsibly.
