KYOTO, Jun 25 (News On Japan) - A dramatic rescue took place near JR Inari Station in Kyoto on June 23rd, captured by a motorcycle's dashcam. The footage shows a railroad crossing with the barrier down, and an elderly woman lying on the tracks.
The situation was described by the videographer: "I felt a bit anxious as I saw someone entering the crossing with the barrier down. It was a brave action."
Around 8 AM, the woman had collapsed inside the crossing and appeared unable to stand, possibly due to losing consciousness.
