This is the moment a 21-year-old man diced with death as he played on tracks as a train came hurtling towards him.Just before 10pm on July 14th, Andrew Ogden and three friends were walking across the level crossing when Ogden stopped and stood with his arms raised in front of an oncoming train.
He jumped out of the way at the last possible moment before the Northern Rail 20.48 Manchester Airport to Blackpool service sped past at 50mph.
The driver of the train was unsurprisingly left extremely shaken and had to finish work for the night before being signed off work for a week by his doctor.
Ogden pleaded guilty to obstruction without intent and will be sentenced at Preston Crown Court on 7 January 2008.
