A headphones-wearing man died instantly when he has hit by a speeding freight train as he strolled over a crossing oblivious to its blaring horn.

Shocking dashcam footage from a car waiting at the crossing in Karabuk, a town in Karabuk Province in the northern Black Sea region of Turkey, on Wednesday (15th June), shows the man walking towards the tracks.

Ignoring flashing red warning lights, whistles and a barrier he strides onto the tracks.

But he seems unable to hear the shrieking horn of the train as the driver desperately tries to warn him.

Then, without even looking up, the pedestrian is hit by the locomotive and is dragged under the train to his death.

The victim – named later as Abdulsamet Tunc, 24 – worked as a cleaner and was reportedly on the phone with earbuds in.

Tunc was buried in the family cemetery in the village of Cumayani, in Karabuk, on Thursday, 16th June.

A police investigation into the incident is ongoing.
