Bird-brained teenagers dice with death by playing CHICKEN on a railway line as a passenger train hurtles towards them.
Three of the group, egged on by two pals nearby, stood in the tracks as the Sprinter rounded a bend.
They were filmed waiting till it was just yards away before leaping down an embankment to safety in a heart-stopping near miss.
An eye-witness who posted the terrifying pictures on Facebook said the group could have been killed, writing: “They came within seconds of being hit.”
It is thought that the youths also placed items on the line in front of the train – which could have had fatal consequence
British Transport Police are now probing the idiotic behaviour at Stoke Prior, Worcestershire.
They said: “We’re aware of images posted online that appear to show youths trespassing on the railway line. Our inquiries are continuing.
“People need to be aware of the danger and parents must speak to their children about it.
"The last thing we want is to knock on a person’s door to tell them their loved one has been hit by a train.
