Police in Richmond, Texas released a dramatic dashcam video Monday that shows a police officer dragging a woman from the tracks moments before an oncoming train arrived.
Officer Ramon Morales was responding to calls about a woman sitting on the tracks on Sunday morning and he arrived just in time to save her. The footage shows the railroad crossing warning coming down as Morales’ car arrives. Moments after Morales drags the woman away, a train speeds by.
Morales was also able to prevent the woman from running back onto the tracks.
