DailyMailCoUK: A real-life Good Samaritan risked his life to push a stalled van off a railway level crossing a split second before a train passed over.

The quick-thinking man was the passenger on a motorcycle behind the white van, which stalled as it crossed the tracks.

After the van driver failed to get the vehicle moving, the man jumps off the bike and pushed it to safety - narrowly avoiding the train as he jumps back off the tracks.



Security cameras captured the dramatic scenes in Tigre, north Argentinian capital Buenos Aires.

The hero appears to be stunned in the immediate aftermath but then punches the air when he realises he's saved the day and embraces his companion.

Safe: The man darts clear, just inches away from death
