A married couple was forced to leap from a train trestle into a 90-foot gorge to avoid an oncoming locomotive that interrupted their scenic photoshoot, Indian business news website LiveMint reported.

Horrifying footage shows the couple diving from India’s Goram Ghat Bridge in Pali, Rajasthan, India moments before a huge passenger engine passes over the very spot in which they stood.

"They were walking on the meter gauge railway line on Goram Ghat bridge when suddenly [a] Marwar passenger train from Kamlighat railway station approached," authorities explained.

Witnesses reported that the couple was deeply absorbed in taking photos and creating other content for their social media pages. They seemed completely unaware of the encroaching train until it was nearly upon them, fellow sightseers said.

The video, recorded mere feet from the train, shows the locomotive bearing down on the pair. Though the actual moment of their jump isn’t seen on-screen, it appears they decided to make the dive at the very last moment just as the train stopped where they were standing.

The victims were confirmed to be Rahul Mewada, 22, and Jhanvi Mewada, 20. Miraculously, both survived the fall; however, they sustained “grievous injuries” in the process. Rahul’s condition is reportedly “particularly severe.”

Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene and transported the Mewadas to a local hospital, where their injuries were evaluated and found to be “significant.”
