Dramatic CCTV from Argentina captures the tense moment when a small van got stuck on train tracks as a train approaches.
The incident was captured by security cameras as cars were driving round lowered safety barriers at a level crossing.
A passenger on a motorbike can clearly be seen jumping off and trying to push the stuck vehicle out of the path of the oncoming train.
He manages to push the van clear - just in time.
It soon becomes apparent how close the train is when he has to leap clear to avoid being hit himself.
The hero of the hour has yet to be identified.
