Dramatic footage has emerged of a woman who narrowly avoided serious injury or death after crossing an Auckland rail line moments before a train whizzes by.
Security camera footage shows the woman walking over the tracks at a dedicated pedestrian crossing at Mt Eden station this morning.
The near miss occurred despite the warning bells sounding and lights flashing. Several other pedestrians also crossed the tracks despite the warning signs.
Auckland Transport rail services manager Craig Inger said people must take care around the rail network because of the high number of trains in Auckland.
